Default Seperate vacuum source for Boost gauge and BOV?

I'm a little confused as to how I should be hooking this up. Currently, I have the BOV t-'ed off of a vacuum source at the end of the fuel rail (I think it's the top of the FPR).. now, to add a boost gauge, should I just put a 4-way fitting here and run both the BOV and the boost gauge as well as the FPR off of this one vacuum source, or is that asking for trouble?

If I should run seperate vacuum sources, can anyone tell me where another vacuum source on the D16Z6 motor? Is there another one on the intake manifold somewhere or what?

My BOV and Boost controller are both off the FPR right now. My boost gauge it directly off the cruise control vac source since I don't have cruise control

That location would only provide a boost signal. You need to tap something on the manifold, after the throttle body for a vac reading.

I just drilled a hole in the bottom of the manifold and made a source for my vacuum distribution block, this gives a cleaner look.
