Boost gauge install help

I am installing a boost, fuel pressure, and A/F gauge in my ZL1. Everything is wired up and working except the boost. I was hoping to use the "T" fitting and tap into an existing vacuum line. Does anyone know the best place to install? I've been searching for awhile, but everything is related to aftermarket superchargers. Pics would be awesome!

Thanks!

I've also been asking the forum what boost line source to "T" into for my Hobbs switch but no replies back so far.

Im pretty sure it is the pvc plastic tube runs along the passenger side of the blower and goes down into the same area as the fuel rail feed line, but not 100% sure

Last time I spoke to JMS when installing my fuel pump booster I remember them saying the best place to tap into the booster vacuum hose up front labeled "A" I think.....

I didn't think you had to tap into a vacuum hose for the JMS unit..? I thought it was electronically driven from the gas pedal?

These are the only 2 lines I see possible to "T" into. The one labeled X is too small to T into..

Thanks for the help! Hose with the X on it did the trick! Used the supplied T with a small piece of hose to connect right at the nipple.
