Hey mate i am running the same setup on my own vehicle.. if by boost you mean the boost guage then yes, the blue line will have the boost pressure in it.. Just make sure the line is well sealed and doesnt cause a boost leak

The boost gauge sits on the pilar in front of the driver.

what is a "Dawes and Needle valve"???

[YNOT]

what is a "Dawes and Needle valve"???

Dawes and needle valves are what some of us fit to ZD30 (3.0l diesels) engines to manually control turbo boost. The computer normally controls boost on these engines but doesn't do a very good job. No relevant to 2.8 (RD28) diesels.
