Theres a nipple on on your intake manifold you can connect your boost gauge directly to.

You dont need the T fitting if you dont have to connect into an existing vacuum line. Since your car has an empty nipple available, use it to connect your boost gauge directly to it. It should be under the TB near the center of the manifold(i believe).
