digital boost gauge sensor problem

I want to buy the dynotune digital boost gauge but the sensor has 1/8npt threads. I currently have a mechanical gauge and its tapped into the line from the intake mani and FPR. My question is there a way possible to use the same point with a sensor like this or will i have to drill and tap into the intake manifold?

Would one of these adapters work?

As long as that sensor requires a vacuum reading, I wouldn't see why using the barb fitting wouldn't work. Also for the price of that gauge, you could get a Defi or a STRI gauge which will match the factory gauge cluster and looks a lot nicer IMO but I'm not telling you what to do because if you like it, that's all that matters.

the aem boost gauge comes with the same adapter so I would like to think it'll work just fine
