I think you'd be wanting to install an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) guage first to get good info and see how your boost is affecting temps.

Why do you hate boost gauges intrade! its just stupid really! if you have a turbo vehicle that any part of the turbo system has been modified then it is a very smart idea just so you can keep an eye on whats going on every now and again or if a problem arises you can see what boost is doing! you do not have to paint your interior white, get neon's for under the vehicle and go buy a huge boost gauge with heaps of colors and mount it on your pillar so everyone can see it you know right!

LOL because intrade would prefer everyone to spend money on diesel fuel additives.

OP - look near the throttle body and around the beginning of the intake manifold, usually there will be a port to connect a map sensor or boost gauge. Sometimes you will need to tee into an existing tube but if you're lucky you might have a free port you can remove the cap(!) and run your line from there without needing a tee.
