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.

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.
