hook it up between your intake manifold and wastgate so it sees the actual pressure.

Next thing you know you'll have people plugging boost controllers into their blowoff valves.

i wish someone would make a MSPAINT drawing off all the vacuum lines. sometimes i get confused on where to T for what ya know.

like the BOV, the nipple on compressor housing, wastegate, the other end of the mbc. stuff like that

well it is usualy the closest form of vacume source, thats why people put a "T" off of it. looks better then having another line goin up the intake manifold.
