Default Where to tap boost gauge on intake manifold?

I looked around in the F/I Faqs and didn't see anything for the boost gauge, My main questions is where is the best place to tap into a vac source? FPR? and since the gauge line is already installed in my intake before the throttle body; how accurate will it be? I know I will see a lot more spiking but will it be that much less accurate than the FPR line? TIA

How bad is it to have it tapped to the charge pipe? is it bad enough that I should move it.

do it to the manifold it is more accurate, the charge pipe will not show vacuum.

wouldn't move it? or wouldn't have the charge pipe as the source?
