BOOST GAUGE CONECTION POINT
Wondering what is best area to connect boost gauge either the map sensor/manifold line or before the turbo inlet port?
Thanks.

Before the inlet port? What do you mean? Most tee into the MAP sensor line or delete the AIH and use a tapped plug for the fitting. Like this:

Upper left of this photo, you will see the tee-into-the-MAP line technique.

Mine is teed into the MAP line also.
But I added a regulator after it so the MAP only sees 22psi, but the boost gage shows actual...

BOOST GAUGE CONECTION POINT
I circled in red the point where I attached my boost gauge. Is this ok or do I need to move?? Any difference where you connect?
Thanks.

The area you circled is
PRE -IC. You should move it to AIH or MAP sensor line.
Edit: Actually shouldn't make much difference but you could get a leak in one of the four connections before the boost gets back to the cold side of spider and not have an accurate reading, or know you have a boost leak.
