The only place where you should source a boost/vac signal is from the intake manifold, it will give you the most flexibility for hose routing to keep your line kink free. The IM is also the only place where both boost/vac will be present together.\



There are a few ways to do it.



-drill and tap the IM and install a fitting to push a hose on to (requires removal of the manifold to avoid metal shavings entering the motor)

-buy a vacuum manifold and run one larger hose to it, from there you can branch other smaller lines off to various locations such as BOV, wastegate, FPR and boost gauge.



Good Luck
