    Well I have a conviently placed fitting coming off the back of the intake manifold. So I'm good there. What about the vacuum line to the blow off valve? Can I use the same one I used from the mani to the wastegate?

    You have to hook up the line from WG to a boost source not vacuum. ie compressor or charge piping. Your BOV is going to be hooked up to your intake mani for vacuum

    you should read some of the threads/builds in this forum, all this stuff has been covered numerous times and it might give you some other ideas for your set-up.

    You could hook it to vac source but it causes issues. Overspeeding issues at part throttle boosting. Wot it will work properly.

    Just tap the comp housing, it takes litterally 5 mins.
    Forced convection.... Now we grillin.

    you dont want to use a signal line that is post throttle body.
