has any one out there installed a boost gauge on a 2000 ford power stroke? im in the process of installing it right know. i think it needs to be after turbo pressure, possibly in the inner cooler or ??? there is some small vacume style fittings that run to the turbo actuator solinode? but still could use some better advice.

It can go to any vacuum line that comes directly off of the intake manifold.

thanks for the info. i figured it out after a couple of phone calls to buddys. it was what i thought i was second guessing my self. there is a hose running off the front of the turbo intake housing area that goes over to a sensor on top of the a/c box just splice there and plum it in. works all good.
