Boost gauge

Sorry if this has been covered before, I can't find it.

My boost gauge arrived the other day. Does it matter which vacuum pipe I connect to?

I don't think it matters, but I thought I would ask to make sure.

It's gonna be a temp fit for now. I have a feeling my truck was remapped by the PO, allowing the turbo to over boost. The threads on the actuator rod are nothing like the set up guide.

I found an old thread on here (from 2012) about pilar gauge pods. Do you know if these ever got produced by ccreations? I PM'd him to find out but had nothing back yet. One of those is just what I would be looking for.
