Default Eboost2 hookup question

my eboost2 instructions say port1 should be hooked up the a boost source before the throttle body and NOT to the intake manifold. Mine was hooked up by a former sponsor to the intake manifold. Was he wrong in doing so? Should I move it? Where would i put it otherwise?

I'm using a progate along with it and the 2 hoses to the progate are hooked up properly.

there are two ways to hook it up per the instructions that i do not have handy. they may have it the other way

make sure it is set up one of the ways in the instructions, otherwise it is wrong.

Ok, i shut it off. truck still idles like *** crack. I'm assuming I have a vacuum leak somewhere since my vacuum reads a max of -15 at idle and the truck almost stalls when i put it in gear. I thought the eboost was causing this but clearly not.
