Yes, its coming off the inlet manifold, which is where you want to know the pressure.

Any other reference that is closer to the turbo's, you won't get an accurate measure of the drop accross the intercooler. That spot is perfect.

correct, that is the line that runs to the factory BOV so it will be the plenum's pressure.

it's nice and close to the plenum, and easy to access.
