Default Where do I connect vacuum line for boost guage

Eventually I'm planning on getting a boost guage, most likely APR's. However, a friend of mine has a vacuum gauge that I can use to measure the boost. All I need to do is hook the vacuum line up, obviously somewhere between the turbo and the intake. I'm thinking I may can tie in to my DV but I'm not sure. Where is the best place to hook in. The reason I'm doing this, by the way, is because i think i have a leak. Thanks guys.

I have just the basic VDO Vision gauge. The T did not come with it. I got one from somewhere - ECS ot AWE... Its the one with the small filter in it to prevent the gauge chatter.

Not sure - I hooked my power up to the dimmer line connected to to my illuminated vent wheels.
However in this picture it is wired incorrectly. The black actually went to a ground instead of tapping the other black wire. This way the light in my gauge comes on with my head/parklights, and adjusts with my interior dim as well.
