That's a boost tap. You can remove the whole thing rather than blanking it off. Unclip the corrugated pipe and the there is a 'circlip' at the other end.

Can't see any reason why not, the Forge DV uses vacuum/boost to control the solenoid so it must be a good enough place to take a reading.

Why are you removing the Forge?

Have you got a photo of it? Some people add a spacer into them which makes that horrible sound. This can be removed for a more subtle sound, although aftermarket air intakes can be noisy, even with a OE DV.
