It has a "Y" fitting into two lines, one of those lines runs to the wastegate on the side of the turbo, the other to the outlet side of the turbo. Basically you disconnect those two lines from the turbo, plug em off and zip-tie them out of the way. Then run two lengths of vacuum line from where the old lines were connected up to your boost controller. Thats it.

BIG PIC
....er um but this is for boost controller, so sorry for being a bit off topic.
*shaking head at Option2* sorry man, you gave up too quickly.
Please look here... I'm in the middle of my guage install (running into ordering snags) but borrowed a friend's mechanical boost guage and hooked it up. The proper route for your wires and vac lines should go where I routed them:

I chose to drill a new hole due to wiring I used for my stereo install. Kinda hard to squeeze 0 gauge in a factory grommet.
Netmand's location is great BTW.
you know, there is also a rubber boot above the drivers side kick panel which exits directly behind the driver side fender, where you can route the boost gauge line that way.. thats how i did it.

Be careful of how you did your line routing... cutting the wire boot that goes into the side of the car leaves an opening for water to get in... usually not much water is going to wind up there... except you have a line running from above going right into the hole... yep, water is going to travel right down that hose and right into the car!
Just trying to be constructive here. No offense intended.
