Tap off your Fuel Pressure Regulator for your boost gauge and repair the line you cut into.

Don't tap into the regulator line use diverter line only.

There is nothing wrong with tapping the FPR line as long as you zip tie it securely. It is better to see the pressure at the manifold anyway.

The line to the diverter valve is manifold pressure.
