Default XKR Boost Gauge

Has anyone installed a boost gauge on their supercharged Jaguar? I have purchased a turbo boost gauge and I'm sure it would work fine on a supercharged engine. I'm thinking I could drill and tap the air tube between the supercharger and the intercoolers and install a screw in nipple for the hose. The gauge I aquired is by TWEAK, are they any good? My Ford Lightening has a boost gauge but it is in AZ, So I don't know where they installed the port it. Thanks.

Yikes, no need to drill and tap...just put a tee on the vacuum hose going to the fuel pressure regulator (on a pre-2003 car). 2003 and later, just find another intake vacuum hose to tee off of.
