Yep, the T piece is the go. Simply splice it into one of your small diameter flexible rubber vac lines. These originate at the back of the inlet manifold's plennum (chunk on the bottom that your throttle is bolted to).

There should be a plastic 'tree' at the back there with quite a few lines coming off it. As far as I know, any of these will do.

I said the small diameter lines because the two larger ones are for Brake Booster and MAP sensor.

A T peice should not cost more than about $2 from supercheep and I think that vac hose (to run to your guage) is around $1.20/metre. I like to use small cable ties around the hoses at vacuum junctions just to make sure they never come apart. (Think of them as a small hose clamp).

Hope that helps.

Mike
