Stock J-pipe has a nipple for it.
But I would ditch that HKS BOV. I saw it worked elsewhere but on an Evo. If you are on stock turbo/boost use a metal valve like that from an Evo IX.

If you are still using stock MAF you should not be venting to atmosphere no matter which brand of valve you decide to keep.

When you have time read up on old threads about the drivability of the HKS unit.

And if you don't have a boost reference off the cold side turbo you could just tap it to a port off the intake manifold.

They are plastic and apparently can get very leaky.

You could try googling a product called, "FTG quick tap comphsg". It is an aluminum barb fitting that you install in a silicone IC coupler hose. I think that it is made by ATP turbo.

Sounds like you are only running wastegate pressure.

I didnt completely follow what you said so I apologize but could you please expand on your routing? Are you trying to use the factory boost solenoid? If so you need to use the factory vacuum lines as they have a specific boost pill installed to help achieve the boost level.
