Its better not to tee into the fuel pressure reg since a leak or broken hose/line there can cost you a motor. But most poeple use that. You can also use the BOV line, you just need 2 more feet of hose.

mines tapped into the hose coming of the intake manifold, is that what you call the fuel pressure hose?

There are a few lines coming off the intake mani ;) If you mean the small one on the far drivers side that goes to the Fuel Pressure Solenoid on the firewall and then to the Fuel Pressure Regulator on the end of the Fuel Rail, then yes, that could be called the fuel pressure hose.

so just cut and tee the hose between the bov and the manifold?

That would certainly work. If you have a gauge that also shows vacuum, that line will show the vac as well. HAve fun.
