Default Where to plumb in a boost gauge

Hi everyone.
Is anyone able to show/explain where I plumb in the piping for the boost gauge please.
Is it the right hand pipe from the top of the inlet? T piece it off?
Thanks.

It's been 30 years since I had an RS Turbo so can't remember exactly, but one of the hoses goes to the ECU s internal map sensor (the silver box on the bulkhead) I think I just T'd into that but some might say you shouldn't use that hose. Can you upload a pic?
