Just order a prosport evo boost gauge for my vortech brz, just wondering where do i need to cut for the vacuum? or if there is a DYI on how to install a boost gauge on the BRZ.

There is a DIY by Rally Sport in the DIY threads.

There is no DYI per say because everyone will be different. There are multiple boost/vacuum lines you should be able to add a T into. Most people get vacuum from the brake booster line on the back of the intake manifold. You just need to make sure you T into it before the check valve. Personally I would recommend a vacuum manifold install.

Just bite the bullet and spend the extra $50 or $60 for a vacuum manifold. It will make your life easier down the road

I'm mounting mine right by the brake booster
