im not sure if the rb20's have one but on the top of the intake manifold at the back there is a small nipple used for the boost gauge on the gauge cluster. this is on a RB25. if you dont have one, which i dont think the rb20's do, just find another vacuum hose and tap it. alot of people use the fuel pressure regulator vaccum source, personally i dont like to use that one but its all up to you. its just a vacuum hose =)

I put a t in on the stock BOV. It is close to the firewall, so you get a very short tube running to your gauge, which is what you want to try for.
