Where to connect MityVac to check boost?

I have a mityvac that will check vac. and pressure. Where do I connect it to check the boost on my turbo? I have an '87 124. TIA

If the Mityvac will measure pressure, you can connect it into the line between the overboost protection valve and the ALDA. Use a T and some short hose sections. Run the gauge into the cabin and observe it while driving.

Emphasis on the 'while driviing.' If you mash the throttle with the car stationary, the gauge probably won't even twitch.
