Only if you don't want to read vacuum.
Just pick a port, don't make it the same port that your ECU reads off of, assuming you have a MAP based ECU. The ECU matters where it gets the signal from, because some ports have more noise than others, but a boost gauge will be fine on any.

because, why run two vacuum lines into your bay?
tee off the clean FPR line. Tee inside the cabin to the ecu and boost gauge. all the available dedicated ports off the IM are nasty for an ECU.

Anyway, I think I should be good for boost & vacuum reading if I T into the cruise control vacuum line on the back of the IM, right?

My first install, I teed both the ECU and the boost gauge off of the FPR line. The ECU signal was noisy as **** from all the vacuum lines vibrating in the engine bay and the cabin. I kept the ECU feeding from the FPR, and moved the boost gauge feed to one of the nubbies behind the throttle body. No more noisy signal.
