Where do I tap into the boost gauge?

I’m getting a boost gauge & I’m wondering where I’d need to go to tap to read boost?

Anywhere after the intercooler. Most of the aftermarket cold side pipes have an extra 1/8npt port to tap into. The throttle body spacers zzp and bnr have 2 1/8npt ports for it. Otherwise you’ll need to tap into the factory cold side pipe for it. That’s plastic and gets some oil condensate in there so I’m not sure epoxy would hold up long.
