boost gauge install

Ok.....where exactly does the boost gauge hose hook up to? the BOV line to the intake manifold or the pressure sensor. I'm only reading about 6 psi of boost hooked up to the BOV.

ok...as far as I can see, there are two nipples coming out of the UIM. One to the right and one to the left of the BAC. Right now, my BOV/boost gauge are using the nipple on the left. The one on the right is the one that the pressure sensor is hooked into.
