Boost gauge on throttle body nipple?

Right I'm about to do the N249 delete on my new bam225 I bought last week. Someone said about having the boost gauge run off the throttle body nipple.. Its currently running from FPR. I'd rather all vacuum lines separately. So can someone tell me or show preferably send me a picture of where I the nipple is on the throttle body?

Here are a few pics the car.

That's sweet !!.

I think (but could be wrong) that its best to have the FPR on its own vacuum line and then use the other line for the recirc and boost gauge.

There are two vacuum take off's on the bottom of the inlet manifold.

Thanks for the likes on the car.. I paid £1890 for it currently on 122k. Has a few little leaks here and there and I think the timing belt is a little slack so having that replaced. So can someone give me the correct information on how I can run a boost gauge with all vacuum lines being spearte

n249 delete will free up a port but would be needed for dv. If you want a spare port you'll either have to delete the SAI system or you could mod the brake booster to run a single feed from the intake instead of the double feed that is there at the moment.
