Anyone fitted a boost Gauge to a S/C? Where did you take the feed from, the FPR pipe?

Connected up my sc gauge today to the small pipe as mentioned above and at idle it reads at the yellow mark and when I rev it in neutral to 3000rpm it
reads at the light blue mark, does anyone know if this is right? I havent driven it yet with it connected.

OK thanks, I havent routed the pipe through the firewall yet, I just had it out of the door and into the engine comp so I'll route it next week and drive it and see what happens.
