I am having a debate with myself on facebook about the OMP and boost, going something like this!
What does the omp do with the vacuum signal from the inlet manifold? Im told it needs not to see boost so would have to be pre turbo which causes abit of an issue with my rear turbo idea as I will have to run twin intakes.
Anyone got any experience with Greddy turbos or superchargers and moved this?

I think that if I route the line to the other side of the throttle body it should work as it needs.
Apply the principal like when you run a boost gauge and plumb it in before the throttle body you only see boost but beyond the throttle body you see boost and vacuum?
If it just needs a vacuum surely you could just connect a small filter on the end of the line and run it that way eliminating the interface with the trunk?
The fbw throttle and rpm interface would still be there to meter oil based on load and rpm and the intake stroke creates the vacuum to pull the oil in does it not?
Am I talking rubbish?

Reading this post just running the vacuum line to atmosphere with a small filter should work?

Re: OMP and boost
The hose to the oil injector array is simply to allow the injectors to pass air during the intake stroke so that the low pressure does not cause oil to be drawn from them and the feed lines. Don't vent to atmosphere as this will result in unmetered air entering the engine (aka a vacuum/intake leak). Plumb it anywhere after the MAF sensor - as the injectors feature one way valves this can even be post-turbo if needed, but it must be metered.

Re: OMP and boost
In simpler terms, the hose is not a vacuum feed - it's a breather so that the engine can suck air through the injectors on the intake stroke instead of oil
If you do plumb it on the boost side make sure you put clips on this hose and the four small hoses to the injectors.

Re: OMP and boost
Yes, every hose post-turbo should be clipped or otherwise secured to avoid any surprises
