yucky yucky yucky.....

NEVER tie into the MAP sensor line for a boost gauge. It can delay MAP readings and mess with the fuel pressure. Most of us bite onto the upper plenum somewhere; brake booster vacuum line is a popular choice.....see link below for a nice setup.

nothing. there should be a T fitting - it needs to be removed and replaced with a straight connector, or run new line altogether.

coming off the back of the plenum, there is a 90 degree vac fitting facing down. There you have a T. On the T one line goes to the driver side and connects to the MAP, one goes to the passenger and connects to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. looks like this:
