New Ms3 owner, member. Greets

Hello, I am a relatively new 2009 Ms3 owner. Metro Gray, Minneapolis area.

Things I have done thus far:
MS CAI, what a wonderful sound it makes.
Fog light bulb replacement to 'match' HIDs, bought the 7000k color temp matching lights from Street Scenes Tint in Brooklyn Park. Nice match!
Threw in my kenwood 800W and 2 12"s from last car, no replacement stereo so quality is so-so.

Other things I am planning:
Cp-e Triple gauge pod containing:
Water Temp
Oil Press
Voltmeter (due to system install)

NEW Cp-e Single gauge pod (with vent ports and hole for wires) containing:
Boost


Can you guys advise me as to where to tap for the water temp? I was going to get the radiator upper hose adapter from ProSport but I've heard that under certain circumstances, this hose will not be routing any coolant at all. Is there a place to tap on the block? Thanks in advance.

Also, I have read about 3 different places to tap the vacuum line for boost. The tube leading from the BPV/BOV, the tube leading to the MAP, and the tube leading to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Which do you guys recommend and are they readily available? Thanks again in advance.

If this is slightly out of place in the forums, I apologize; I am new. PMs are welcomed as well. Thanks! Nice to meet you guys, hope someday to take a spin with you and check out your rides!

I'M OFFENDED!
In case you missed it from the chatbox-

I've tapped two different cars leading from the BPV- and it works like a charm.

Here are some pics, I recently picked up a set of REALLY pitted wheels with some semi-used winter tires on them for use with my Ms3. Here is a picture of my beaut with the wheels on and what the wheels looked like before.

Took some wet sandpaper 400 grit, made some progress. Not perfect, some pitting still marginally visible after mutliple coats of primer, final, and clear. Used an etching material prior to paint. The tape job was pretty intense, and not perfect either. Some touch-ups needed. Here is the tape job and a look from the top with final coat.

That's where mine is too.

Welcome aboard and nice work cleaning up the rims!

Nice rides son! We'll have to go riding come spring time.
If you want more sound, a nice cheap mod is an aftermarket BPV.
