1G Electronic boost control

[TK9er]

Hey everyone. I would like to install an electronic boost control to my 1990 TSI. The problem is when I originally went through my car I did a bunch of clean up on the wiring harness and moved some stuff around. At that time I was not planning on running an electronic boost controller, so I cut the boost control solenoid wires back and tucked them into the harness. That being said, could I just cut and tap into the boost signal wire at the ecu then run a 12v source from a fuse? Or is there a better way to do this?

here is the write up.

Either find where you cut into the harness or run to the ecu. It enters the harness somewhere near the BOV/stock overfill bottle location. Red plus an orange wire.

yeah... i cut it way off, tucked it, and wrapped the harness when i had the whole thing out
