You hooking it up to do some diagnostics? Any vacuum source will do, likely it's got a 1/4" hose on it. Just tee into one of the hoses that goes into the manifold past the TB.

If you're wanting to mount it and keep it permanently...why?

Pic of...what?

Just tee into any vacuum hose you can find that's not ported, anything in between the TB and IACV will do. FPR, EVAP, etc.

Hi,
I'm also trying to hook up a vacuum gauge that I installed on the pillar.
When you connected yours to the brake booster did it work? I was afraid to
tap into the brake booster thinking it might affect it.
