Default Anyone to make a vac source?

Well I want a vac source near my turbo for my wastegate, anyway I can get one near there? Like welding something to the turbo-to-intercooler piping, or is there any piping that come with something like this? I have a t3/t04e and it doesn't come with the vac nipple like the turbonetics one.

Just tap your charge piping and put a threaded brass nipple in there. Should take you about 10mins to do.

or you can get the vacuum/boost signal from the intake manifold (= more response)

Drill a hole, put a brass nipple, and mig weld it on? I should be able to get a nipple from homedepot right?

Or will it be smarter to weld a bung on the piping, and screw the brass nipple on it?

So you're saying I should just use the one vac line off my manifold for everything? wg, guage, etc..
