Default Magnuson Heartbeat vac/boost port??

I've recently had a Magnuson Heartbeat installed on my ls3 Corvette. I want to install a vac/boost gauge but did not receive any doc's from the installer. Anyone know wher the port would be for connecting a gauge?

Thanks

BB long tubes, X pipe with hi-flow cats, Fusion exhaust, Trick Flow heads, custom blower cam by Anti Venom (Tampa). 600 RWHP at 4# boost on pump gas. A6 trans'.

PM me your email address and I'll be glad to send you a copy of the install instructions.

There's an eighth inch vacuum line nipple on the blower over the rear of the passenger side valve cover. Kinda hard to see. I suspect that is it. You need to confirm by going through the instructions though.

It's actually on the driver's side rear of the blower, right near the PCV nipple on the valve cover. My blower came with a vacuum cap installed on that port, but I hooked my BAP boost pressure switch up to it.
That's the only supplied fitting I know of that will actually see boost. The ones in the front of the blower will only show vacuum.

Yep, 2 beers and I can't tell passenger from driver's side. Damn, I hate when that happens...
