Default OK to use port on intake manifold for boost/vac reference

I want to use the PCV port on the intake manifold (just behind throttle body) for a boost/vacuum source to run my boost gauge and BOV. Anyone see a problem with this?

I wanted to use the port on the compressor housing, but the WG instructions say not to use this port for anything but the WG.

I used the nipple on the right hand side of the intake. I believe its the one for EVAP....I deleted that and used that part for my vacuum referenced nitrous setup which is the same thing for turbo app's.

nope.

ive actually drilled and npt threaded both sides of the neck of the intake where the pcv and the evap system were. one side has an IAT sensor and one side is a large manifold reference source.

OK, MM you confused me. Are you saying not to use it?

I do not have my PCV system going to the intake manifold, it goes to the turbo inlet only.

I still have my evap system, so that port is occupied. I just wanted to use the PCV port, put a T fitting on it, and use it for my BOV and boost gauge.

I think he's saying he sees no problem with it. He has his in the same location.
