R58 and Forge Diverter Valve

Hello, I have a 2013 JCW r58 and I am trying to figure out the correct install of the forge Diverter hoses. I see some run off of the bost tap at the MAP sensor and some run off a boost tube thats right next to the diverter.
Can anyone clarify what I should be running it. Even forge has me confused.

I ran mine off a boost tap off the MAP sensor in the back.

Excellent thanks! and just to verify.. you have both nipples on your diverter right? Uper and lower. I have seen some with just upper.

Yes. Just make sure you are using the right spring. Also, you should have plenty of hose to route it wherever you need. Just a note too, depending on where you drive and the conditions, you may need to disassemble the valve and grease it after a year or two.
