I don't think you will have a capped boost from the inlet. Your lump is very similar to mine, I would recommend that you put a t-piece into the pipe to the fuel pressure regulator as it is simple and easy to locate.

There is a picture showing the routing of pipes, 14 is the FPR and it connects straight to the inlet manifold for it's vacuum source.

I thought I had posted on here again.

Anyhow, you just need a vacuum source so the one pictured will work fine.
I will have a chat with you at the next meet if you fancy.
