Default Vaccum for boost gauge

What's up guys, I know this has probably been talked about before but I haven't had much luck in finding a good answer to my question.
I'm in the middle of hooking up my aem tru boost controller and I'm wanting to find a good source for the Vaccum line. I already have my bov hooked up to the port on front of the plenum. Could I use the Vaccum source that's in the back that goes to the evap, what other good sources are there?
Any help would be appreciated thanks

Just put a T on the bov hose, or a T on the evap port. If u disconect the evap u will get a CEL

why not just drill the plenum and tap a 1/8" NPT hole and screw in another barb for $11

7$
