I hook into the boost sensor, because that's what's actually determining the engine power output. At a low RPM, 20% throttle opening may be 100% manifold pressure, because there's not much airflow.

Throttle position does not determine power output. Manifold pressure does. The throttle controls manifold pressure. Also, when tuning for boost (to add fuel if needed up high in the boost), you need to know the manifold pressure, not the throttle position.
