If you bought it new it should come with the tubing and connector. What type of gauge do you have?
It will require a 1/8 NPT threaded hole somewhere, most guys use a boost bolt. You could tap the intake horn, or easiest place, if deleted, is the EGR blocker plate.
I used a boost bolt on my 08 and had gauge fluctuation issues, on my '11 used the boost bolt till I put my intake horn on and had no issues.
