Boost gauge tap in point
I have done my research and have a few questions. I dont want to tap into the FPR line. I want to tap into the vaccum line for the bov. Is the line in the pic the vaccum line for the bov. I have searched and cant find a pic of the bov line. My old car was a 2004 VW jetta and I tapped the vaccum line for the diverter valve. It seemed to work fine.

I am switching mine the day the car comes out of storage. I am just going to run off the BOV line.
I followed the evomoto how-to and that was a mistake.

+1 for a good picture of which tube from the BOV is the best to tap.
On another note, I saw an interesting write up for a different car, where rather than tapping hose they actually added copper plumbing fixtures to the actual connector and 'hardwired' the sensor into the connector - it looked very neat.

That is not the FPR line. The FPR line is to the left and can be seen at this link:

QUOTE
TECH TIP: It is ideal to connect to a vacuum hose that goes directly to the intake manifold whenever a vacuum/pressure source is needed. Some hoses connected to solenoids or the throttle body may not read pressure all the time (or at all) and some may not read vacuum. Using any hoses with those characteristics will obviously give you very inaccurate readings...or none at all. The particular hose from the fuel pressure regulator to the bottom of the FPR solenoid reads vacuum and boost 24/7, so it's a prime candidate.
Tie strap all vacuum lines at their connections to ensure they will not blow off under boost.
After your connections are made to the gauge or Control Unit II, start the car and check that the gauge is reading vacuum. Stock Evos will read approximately 16in/Hg (.55 BAR).
