Hey guys got a question. i have seen some people do this and was wondering if maybe i could do it. I have purchased and autometer phantom II boost and pyro gauges and for the boost gauge i was wonder if i could just splice it into the wastegate line with a T fitting instead of tapping into my turbo housing?? i know the kit doesnt come with the fitting i need but wonder if it would affect anything with my wastegate or work as accurate. i know it sends boost pressure to the waste gate from the turbo but wondering if it will save me time and i really dont want to drill into my turbo housing. Thank for your advise and input in advance.

That would work, or go for the really clean look of the super diesel manifold.

Save the $ from the manifold and tee into the wastegate. Not sure about the vendors here but I know other sites sell this setup.

I like the manifold. It is a nice clean look,easier and more accurate than the T-fitting, and you have extra spots if you want to add things in the future such as water- meth or nitrous.
