if your looking at the car , go to the left front corner odf the manifold and you will find a 3mm id tube connect to that :doubleup:

I connect to the DV hose when mapping Newage as its the easiest one to get to and would of done when I mapped yours/Rob's.
When you fit it, it should be reading about 1.4bar dropping to 1.1bar in 4th (due to the 2-port not allowing boost to hold on the VF35). Would be better holding around 1.3, but would require small remap and a 3-port (as per item Prodrive fit to the WR1).

Although CJ's suggestion may be a little neater, but not 100% on what pipes go where on the newage setup.
