Question Most accurate point to measure boost pressure?

Ok, this might be a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyways.

In a turbo system where's the most accurate point to measure the boost pressure? I'd guess the intake manifold since that's what the engine is actually seeing, but am I wrong?

Yes the intake manifold is the most accurate and accessible place to measure boost AFTER THE PRESSURE DROP. If you are trying to measure actual positive pressure created by the turbo or supercharger you would measure at the compressor outlet..
