If you're having to ask all these questions, then you're not qualified to install the kit...or it'll take you a really long time to get it installed.
Your intake manifold has a vacuum line (I'm going by memory...and I'm bound to be wrong...but it should be somewhere along the backside of the IM). You'll need vaccum line "tees" to "T" off the stock vacuum lines. There is a vacuum line connected from the stock FPR to the IM. If you're using an FMU, you'll need to make a "T" and run a line to the FMU.
Normally, what I would do...is go the extra mile and get a vacuum box (Golden Eagle is the expensive version, while McMaster Carr has the inexpensive version).
You would connect the vacuum box to the brake booster, which will allow you to connect a wastegate, BoV, boost gauge, FPR, MAP sensor, etc to. Not necessary, but it's an option that I think is rather convenient to have.
EDIT: Oh yeah...your WG, BoV, boost gauge have to be hooked up to a vacuum source...but that should be a given, after I stated the comment above ^^.

Golden Eagle Vacuum Manifold
Robear Racing is a bit more expensive than other sites that I've found....but the unit is less than $50, and that's the price including Nylon fittings you'll need.

WOw, so when using that box all you have to do is hook the one port up to the vaccum line behind the IM and then from there, whatever needs a vaccum line just hooks into the box? If so, thats sweetness.

Agreed.
I was thinking about getting one of those also. But I'm also gonna convert to stainless steel hoses everywhere for the looks and longevity under the extreme heat.
