Question Help: Boost gauge connection on engine (ISB 5.9 CR)

I am trying to locate where the direct reading boost gauge connects to the engine.

I had the engine replaced last year and the direct reading gauge was reading low while the computer value was reading correctly. While at Banks to have their system installed I had the technician see why it wasn't working. He told me that the engine installer had let the line lay against the exhaust and it was melted. He cut and plugged the line. I have located the cut line but can not find where on the intake side it was originally connected. I have searched the internet for a picture but haven't found one.

Thanks in advance.
John.

If the line was melted on the exhaust manifold , was the boost gauge fitting in the turbo ??
If it was in the intake manifold , it would have been away from the exhaust manifold.

Thumbs up Found It.

Found it. The comment about if it was melted that it would have to be on the exhaust side really helped. It is just before the big hose going to the intercooler. Just a mater cutting out the leak section and splicing it in. Let me know if anyone wants me to post a picture.
