A zip tie. The zip tie connects to your battery cable, or somewhere else in the vacinity

It goes to a valve near your intake manifold. That valve switches between manifold vacuum and barametric pressure. The boost sensor doesn't measure boost, it measures vacuum and barametric pressure to adjust for high altitude.

Look next to your tranny dipstick. There is this thing with 2 hoses connected to the top and 1 at the bottom. The longer of the top 2 goes to the bottom of the boost sensor.
