Need help with vac/boost source (Searched)

First off, I have searched! I became more confused, so I figured I would just ask and take the flaming!!!


I am doing a turbo swap into a 87 GXL. I have blocked off all of the emissions equipment.

I am installing a VDO boost guage and need to know where to get the Vac / Boost source. I am currently running a vacuum line from the nipple near where the BAC would be (UIM) to the pressure sensor and wastegate. Should I tie into this line for the boost guage also?

Do I need the restrictor in the line to the pressure sensor?

Does the small nipple from the passenger side of the UIM provide enough pressure change (flow rate, volume, whatever) to actuate the wastegate? Is there a better line to use for the wastegate?

Is there a better line to use for the boost guage?

Thanks!

Rob

C'mon!

Nobody has any answers? Am I not being clear enough?

I guess I could just be ignorant!
