Default boost gauge install

does anyone know if there is a plug that can be removed from the intake on the 5.0L (2011 5.0L roush super charger) to install the boost gauge ? I have attached a photo of a buddy's set up in his 2013 raptor 6.2L.

Thanks SDF

So I talked with a tech at roush this morning and he said that is where they connect the boost gauge to, but the "T" must be used because it needs the restrictor for the gauge to work properly. so i bout a brass fitting with 1/8 NPT thread a piece of 7/32" vacuum hose and a vacuum cap to cap off the one side of the "T".

I'm interested in what you find out. So keep us posted on how it works, if that's the correct spot, etc.
