Default Add a Hobbs Switch???

What is the best place and way to add a Hobbs switch? Just get a T and go into the bypass valve vacuum and add a hose and clamp to the Hobbs? Is there anything that can be added where the Hobbs switch can be threaded in?

Assume this is for a secondary fuel pump system to activate in boost??
You can place the Hobbs switch where it will see boost...

Yep. Just wasn't sure since it is threaded. Didn't know if just clamping a hose on the threads and then putting it on a T would be fine or not.

You can thread it right into the intake or charge pipe...

Otherwise I would get a fitting that connects to the end and clamp it down..
