 I have a boost gauge and want to install myself and save the money. Since this will be my first boost gauge install can anyone point me in the right direction. My concern is where to connect the vacuum line on a 2010pp. Any pics, diagrams, links to threads would be greatly appreciated.

You can get the boost source from the boost solenoid that is bolted to the top of the motor when you take the cover off.
T into the hose that goes from the boost solenoid into the turbo piping that goes over the engine on the right hand side.
Piece of cake!

I just want to make sure I do this right. Attached is a pick of our ecoboost engine in the SHO. Is this the boost solenoid I have circled in red and the line I need to "T" into in green?

No, the red circle is the high pressure fuel pump. DO NOT TRY TO TAP OR SPLICE INTO THIS!!!!!
And the green circle is part of the  PCV  system.

I couldn't even tell you where it is. But I know with near 60 pods sold the above picture is how I have and they have done it.

when you actually do this,  a short write up and photographs would be extremely helpful. I have been thinking about doing this.

I saw this at Full Race and was wondering if it would work on the SHO throttle body and make for a cleaner  boost guage install ?

$99 or $3 for a vacuum T, seems like a no brainier.
