Well dont ask me cos I got mine all wrong apparently

I think my gauge measures 'spend' rather than 'boost'... its nasty to watch

If it's anything like ones for petrol engines, it connects to one of the small diameter pipes on one of the boost sensors or bypass valves, not to the big intercooler hoses.
