You will find vacuum lines coming off of these two areas on the intake manifold. You need to cut one of these lines and fit the little "T" connector that came with your boost gauge in between the cut pieces.
What you are trying to do is get your boost gauge included in the vacuum system so it can measure the amount of vacuum/boost in that system.
Really study the directions that came with your boost gauge. The Autometer Boost Gauge that I picked up had great instructions.85 NA2T 9:1 Compression, CM 3" exhaust, Complete Interior Restoration

First boost gauge I ever bought was used with no directions. Still it was cake to install.

You could run to ace hardware and they have just about any fitting you can think of to attach to the stock plenum. Looks like the one you found will work fine though. Just so you know, running a bigger line to the BOV is a better thing. helps it to respond quicker. like up to 1/4 line is good. 3/16" is good too tho.85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

Right after the TB in the intake 'elbow', where you removed that plug on your NA manifold.ya,only my blow off valve hose was tied into there, the bov fitting wouldnt fit the other hole, it stood up to high, didnt clear the hood.

but not very accurately.
now that i have it installed properly in the intake, it says im running at 8PSI, i have no boost controller or exaust.http://www.youtube.com/user/onefast87
