I have a question about the boost gauge installation. I have an Autometer setup and want to know where exactly ON the engine to hook it up to!! I need pictures...I can do the work just the engine bay is so cluttered I can't tell where one line starts and another ends!! Anyone know of any good sites with pictures that can show me where to hook up my gauges (I have oil psi, vacuum/boost and fuel/air mix gauges!)

I "T'd" mine off the evap solenoid on the driver side shock tower. Under normal conditions and under boost, the solenoid will be closed, so you should measure full boost or vacuum just fine.
I wouldn't tap into the fuel pressure sensor vacuum, as is recommended by some blower installs.

I have the very first triple pod for 2010 made by SOS! Ford changed teh mounting and iside bracing for 2010 due to rattling issues. If yoyu have a intercooled Whipple, there is a set screw on the passenger side that is 1/8th NPT if I remember correctly. I obtained a correct sized fitting from NAPA with the correct sized barb for the tube.
