You would need to tap a fitting somewhere on the intake manifold. In a draw-through setup there is no boost pressure in the carby.

Most boost gauges are connected by a small diameter hose.

Yeah i believe thats the mechanical type oneS. Just having a tube up to a gauge with fumes running thru it dont sound smart i just figure electronic unit with sensor would be safer

It will work, but how well it works is proportionate to how much time and money you have.

I see there's three brackets supporting the sc. The top bracket act as a tensioner for the belt? What belt would be using?

Do you know which direction the sc rotor is spinning. I heard if it spin clockwise/counter clockwise, you may need to find out which is the correct air inlet and outlet.
What diameter is the piping? Look tight fit!
