Boost source for hobbs switch

Does anyone know if I can use one of the two hardlines sticking up on top of the throttle body as a boost source for the hobbs switch for my double pumper? EGR is deleted btw.

Reason I want to use those is that they are about the same size as the hobbs switch so I can run a single ID line.

Thanks

Bump...

I am about to install a Buschur Double Pumper and was searching and came across this. I already have a boost gauge T'd off FPR from the previous owner and have read multiple places not to T into BOV line so it seems logical to use an unused line.

Are these lines good boost sources?

I T'd into the boost gauge line, but you could use the line the runs from the turbo compressor to your boost controller.

Pretty much any intake manifold port after the throttle body will work.

But as you stated try to have a dedicated line to it. I used one of the bigger ports that is not used when you have an EGR delete.
