I would actually plug that connection and use a vacuum source at the intake manifold, the Compressor housing doesn't show you accurate pressure because once it passes the IC, you have a pressure drop.

Run your vacuum off the compressor housing... thats what it is there for. You get more immediate response to the WG. Shorter lines are always better. If you feel that you are dropping too much boost because of your IC/Piping... use a boost controller to regain that boost.

no that hole doesnt pull vacuum, its only boost reference so you cant run a blow off valve off of that.

i always run mine from there, yes you have a 2 psi drop, but you can make that up. it is more consistant to run that way. imho.
