where to tap in for boost gauge

Looking to install a mechanical boost gauge in the zl1, but not sure where I should tap the tubing into to pick up the boost/vac . Thanks

I have some crappy one that was in one of my cobra's (faze I think it is), but it works well and has a blue reverse glow which actually matches the interior lighting so it will do for now
