• Between the line from the intakemanifold to the injectionpump is best of the pressure that the engine recieves, or in the line to the wastegate is for checking the pressure that the turbo is acutally blowing.

• As Maarten said, I opted for the thin vacuum line between the intake "elbow" and the pump.  It seemed a lot easier than trying to tee into the thicker wastegate line on the turbo.
  
  Not sure what gauge you'll be using, but consider using one of the new tee's that has the built in restrictor to eliminate needle bounce.  I've got one and it works great!
