Default B8 A4 boost gauge question Need help!

I recently got a B8 A4, I want to install a vent boost gauge but I can't seem to find one for this car yet. Does anyone know where I can find one? I might just get a gauge and cut the vent. Also, I am new to Audi and have not worked on a turbo for years, where is the best place to tap into for the gauge for the boost reading? Pics or a good description of what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Everything I have found has been on the older version and the engine bay doesn't look the same.

Thanks,
Jeff

I have a 98 a4 1.8t and I tapped into the vac line in the front of the engine, all you need to know is where a vac line is...put a t-slitter in and then attach your vac line to the gauge. it should be pretty self explanatory and just take out the center vent and drill a hole a little smallerthen it should fit nice and snug in there. And take some sand paper to file the plastic slivers from the vent from where u cut it so that it looks clean.
