    I tapped my dawes valve into my boost line with a tee fitting, works like a charm

    I had a fitting brazed onto the pipe between the outlet of the intercooler and the inlet manifold.
    There is no factory point you can use.

    You can see where mine is fitted here, with the brass T-piece screwed in to it.
