Go to any home depot type place and pick up the right size compression fitting. Should be about 3 dollars. I would not T the oem line though. Run another one from the manifold.

Why don't you attach it directly to the vacuum T?

you mean the gauge didn't come with a T fitting?....what?? 
Home Depot has them, Autozone has them, Pep Boys has them
Or you can use the existing vacuum tree under the TB cover if you have an extra opening there

Uhh..... slide your vac tubing into a 4mm 1" section of soft line and then the other end of the soft line onto the vac tree.

This shows one way to do it
No matter how you do it zip-tie all your hoses and connections exept compression fittings of course.

I would use the stock boost gauge line if I didn't have to do all the dash stuff to get to it...I'd rather just go off the tree and run it through the firewall! but that's just me!!
