Yes, Nipple under the UIM behind the TB to the BOV... But I have a check valve in my line from the UIM to the BOV.... it came with my HKS SSQV.
Attached is a pic of where to hook ur Wasegate actuator signal to. You will have to add this nipple on your own as the kit doesn't come with it. Read MM's greddy turbo fixes thread

would there be any downsides to BOV performance if I were to tap the boost gauge hose to the hose used for the BOV? as I stated earlier, I currently have my BOV signal coming from that nipple under the UIM post throttle body

i have no gauges hooked up right now, but the car isn't driveable because of a f**ked up clutch slave hardline 
so i figured i'd put on the finishing touches before I take it for a spin. do you recommend anywhere to tap in particular?

Definitely does not hurt to have everything running directly off of the UIM itself. I can see the benefits of that (and now you're making me think about it with my UIM, lol). There are only 3 nipples on the stock UIM (Evap, VFAD, Vacuum Canister), so in those cases there isn't really an option to not mix signals.

The tiny line running from my BOV line to the Boost gauge has little to no effect on the response of my BOV. I could imagine if the boost gauge line was larger diameter it would have more effect but from my personal experience it operates fine and theoretically should have no effect on it as they are not flow lines they are just pressure signals. Just make the line to your gauge and BOV as short as possible.
Once my EBC is connected to the turbo outlet and the built in boost gauge on it is connected pre-TB I'll be able to compare the two readings though.

^^cool, thank you. got the car running, unfortunately it is rather lean, it is getting pretty hot. but we got the logs and you will be seeing our submission on the next submission date, MM!

also, MM we got a 25 sec run at 4200 rpm (miscounted), I understand that you ask for 30 seconds in your logging procedure instructions, but if i were to submit our current log, would it suffice? the reason why i'm hesitant to re-log is because of how lean it was, i'm afraid of doing any damage

Lean could mean a vac leak ...

I am also going to be ordering a new pre-cat 02 sensor as i am getting a p0130 code. I ordered one for the install, but they gave me the sensor that fit INTO the cat pipe (short wires) as opposed to the one that fit into the OEM header (long wires). I'm not saying that is causing some of the issues, but i feel it is definitely something to keep an eye on
