Default Can I use the top vaccum line on the TB for boost hose?

I want to use the hose that was going to the top of the Trottle body for sensing boost and the vaccum fitting on the intake manifold for vaccum, can i do this?

That wouldnt be a very good reference point. That will see the pressure in front of the TB blade, not the manifold. So you'll see boost spikes in off throttle situations(when the blade closes) that actually arent happening in your manifold.

True, so I guess I'll use the bottom nipple on the manifold right behind the TB, is that sufficient?
