AFAIK Manifold pressure.
You want it to respond to what the engine is actually seeing which is the pressure below the carb throttle plates

There should be a fitting on the turbo compressor housing that would attach to the wastegate. But if it isn't there for some reason then you would have to go with under the carb or even the carb hat.
So long as it is attached to "boost" you'll be fine.
Later,
Will
