There are a few options you could tap into the vacuum line coming off the P On the throttle body, the line that goes to your BOV or your FPR lines. I would use the P line off the throttle body its close and you don't have to worry about getting a vacuum leek to the FPR which would be bad under WOT.

The right-hand solenoid, marked with a green dot, is the fuel pressure solenoid. This solenoid allows the engine control computer to temporarily raise the fuel pressure for hot starting purposes. This is accomplished by cutting off the vacuum hose going to the fuel pressure regulator. It is not used for anything else, but it can provide a useful tap-in point for a boost gauge, since the regulator "sees" the intake manifold pressure. (If you tapped your boost gauge in here, but it doesn't read any vacuum right after warm or hot starts, you probably connected to the wrong side of the solenoid.)
