Boost pick up for Maggie

Where do I tap into the boost on a Maggie 2300 for boost gauge install? Can I access it with the S/C already in place?

No problem, it's on the passenger side back by the map sensor. It has a rubber plug over it.

Here's an illustration for you. The boost reference port is highlighted in the blue box (yellow arrow points to MAP sensor).
