Boost would be the engine side of the turbo,typically if it's intercooled you would want it on the cold side piping coming from the I/C to the engine. For a correct pyro reading it should also be the engine side of the turbo, as close to the/ one of the manifold outlets as possible.

 Boost gauge goes on intake manifold. You want to always measure at the manifold.
