Default Where to tea for boost gauge

I have a greddy 52mm gauge and my car stats are listed below. Just wondering where do I tea off a line to the little black box with a nipple on it that goes to the boost gauge, if possible include some sort of diagram.... at the moment I'm getting all the wires through the firewall etc...

Search apparently doesn't work cause I searched all kinds of combinations of words both recent and archive and I didn't even get 1 post. Damn them for deleting the archives.

That is the best bet and the most accurate.

I kinda hate tapping it off the FPR vac line, you'll prolly not gonna lose a whole lot of vac by tapping to many vac in one source, I just hate to think about it..
I only have the FMU tap in the FPR

the rest is either in the EVAP or brake booster..

for example EVAP...

intake manifold is after the TB
