This part is true. The wastegate and boost controller needs to know how much boost is being sent to the throttle body.

I'm not sure I would use the TB nipple. These have different functions, like BOV, FPR, charcoal canister, etc., and should be plugged if not in use.

Takes 5 mins if you have the quipment. If not go to your local weld/machine shop, and they can take care of it for you for $5-30
I like this idea better. It's best to tap the cold pipe as close to the TB as possible so you have an accurate boost reading.
