Cannot find a picture of any use..
If you look at the middle of the inlet manifold, big silver metal thing on top of the engine (talking in as simple terms as possible).
There are three small diameter pipes coming off.. one goes to the MAP sensor via the Pressure Exchange Solenoid, one goes to the fuel pressure red and one goes to the dump valve.. I believe on the standard set up the larger one is the dump valve connection..
you can use any of the three but I would recommend the dumpvalve connection to T into as if you effect the other two in anyway you will cause bigger problems than if you cause a fluctuation or leak on the dumpvalve line.
Dump valve is the small black cylindercal item pictures to the right in this picture with a red sticker.

should be around -0.6bar on hot idle and probably reach about 0 revving on the drive but should show what boost you are running when driving etc..
