Re: (88crxhfb16)
it really only has to see boost, not vacume but you can "t" it into something off the intake mani such as the FPR line or whatever.
what i have always done is drilled and tapped a hole into the intercooler piping somewhere after the intercooler itself where you can easily access it. thread a barbed nipple into it and there you go.

drill and tap the snail with a 21/64ths bit, then tap it to 1/8 npt and put a barb in it. it is the best way to get a boost signal. you may have creep issues if you dont run it that way. thats the way i do all my installs.

Re: (boostedcivicsir)
If you dont feel like drilling into the compressor, you could tap into the brake booster line. Either use a 3 way barbed fitting or stick a GE vacuum manifold in there and run all your all your boost/vacuum lines to the block.
EDIT: another thing you could do is get this thing called a quicktap. Check out here on atpturbo.com

I just put a hose barb fitting on my charge pipe right after the turbo, drilled a hole in the charge pipe just big enough for the fitting to go through, pushed the hose barb through the hole from the inside with a little JB Weld around the base of it to seal it.
