Default HELP!!! Boost Gauge Install

Just bought a ProSport Mechanical Boost gauge and I made a fiberglass gauge pod to put it in, but as far as routing the hose from the gauge to the T-Splice on the turbo has anyone done it or knows a way to route that hose. The gauge pod is located on the bottom of the driver side pillar. Also where to do the T-Splice ... cuz there is already a T-SPlice from the turbo (one goes to the wastegate and the other goes to some connector) should I put it on the wastegate side or the the side that goes to that connector? Below is a picture of what im talking about. Thanks in advance!!!

Better to splice into the BOV hose.

If you splice into the boost control hoses you wont see vacuum.

Also there is a small restrictor pill in the boost control hose along with the pressure in that hose system gets leaked off to work the wastegate properly.
