That is unless removing the fender liner makes it more clear as to how to route things.

Is there any kind of specifications to look for in a "T" like you have purchased? I'm not sure if they have to be rated for a certain amount of pressure or anything? Would you by chance remember where you purchased the T and what size endings you opted for? I'm guessing Home Depot might have what I'm looking for?

Once you pull the liner your routing will be obvious. As for the "T" fitting it should be provided with your boost gauge. The standard size "T" for tapping into the bpv line is 1/4". The one provided with most kits has a restrictor pill in it for the hose from the sending unit (electronic) or to the gauge (mechanical). The restrictor pill acts as a dampener. Without it some gauges will vibrate or ocscillate.
