yes. if your boost gauge also reads vacuum it can be a useful tool in tuning. the stock honda maps read vacuum/boost & rpm to determine the table location to read from, so you can tell whereabout in the table to edit by reading your vacuum (or boost) and rpm

yup, just T that boost gauge into a vacuum source, a good one would be the fuel pressure regulator hose.

dont T off the fuel pressure regulator hose. It can cause problems with delivering the correct fuel pressure because of low or incorrect vacuum on that particular line.
T off of the purge solenoid vacuum line located on the back side of the intake manifold

already used the purge solenoid :) sits around 25 psi at idle then goes to 0 when i hit the gas, lol, its neat watchin it :)
