Default Boost gauge installation

According to the instructions that came with my boost gauge, i am supposed to tap into the line for the fuel pressure regulator, i was wondering if the line that i have circled in the pic is the correct line that i am supposed to tap into....

looks to be the right hose, you can use the one of the bottom of the IM too, by bottom I mean toward the front of the car

Deffinately tap into the vac hose in front -to the intake man. as APR's instructions show. I have heard of too many boosting/vaccuum issues with tapping into the fpr one. Plus APR's instructions couldnt be more simple. Are you going to have the gauge illuminated?
