T'd off the fuel pressure regulator reference port on top of the intake fannymold - the one with small pipe just below the injectors. I think.

Could you just drill and tap a hole into the inlet plenum and screw in a 1/4 inch takeoff nipple, and then attach a suitable pipe to the gauge? Watch out for dropping swarf into the penum though.

That sounds simpler and easier.
However, one needs to be a bit careful when extending the vac line from the FPR, as if it comes lose/detaches/leaks (like the OEM vac tubes commonly do on the VXT) it can lead to wrong fueling.

the boost looks a low figure as there is no turbine wheel restricting the exhaust , but the bhp figure includes the parasitic loss of the SC
