Default Kenne Bell Boost a Pump Info needed

When installing a KB Boost a Pump for a N/A application what and how do you set up a trigger to turn it on? KB website says it is a low vacuum switch, where does this switch tap into? Thanks in advance.

You can access manifold vacuum from the black brake booster hose on the driver side.

With the unit I purchased I received a boost switch. When you order the unit they will ask you what you need (boosted or N/A setup)

FYI
I ran the wiring into the cabin near the clutch and ran the wiring to the booster pump through the rocker panal to the back of the car, mounting the booster inside the rear wheel arch.
