If we're talking about the boost/pressure sensor by the passenger side shock tower (black box) then I just put it to vacuum. That's on my N/A though.

The boost/pressure sensor should not have been effected by your airpump removal.

It needs to connect to a vacuum port on the intake manifold.

I took off the orginal thing it connected it to and block it off with a plate. I do not know where to connect the vaccum line for a good reading. Have it on one of the copper lines but not getting a good boost reading i will just have to buy a aftermarket gauge like defi.

I connected it to the point where the line of the stock "BOV" is connected to.
Above the copper lines you mentioned, at the inlet manifold.
