boost solenoid quesetion

i recently bought theft recovery evo 9 mr. Lots of stuff is missing in the engine bay. Just bought the piping and the intake, so I actualy started to work on it...

I need to know where two little vaccum lines go, the ones that are comming of the boost solenoid. Where should I route them to? Piping, intake?

the nipple off the valve cover goes to the nipple on the intake, but id recommend just running a catch can and plugging it into that

the o2 sensor is located on the 02 housing, its right off of the hotside of the turbo

the o2 wire should be covered in a gray heat jacket it runs up along the inside of the timing cover, then goes underneath the spark plug coverand plugs in there. The coiled up vac line goes to the BOV and the nipple on the valve cover is the PCV breather. There should be a vac diagram under the hood on a sticker

The o2 plug connector is on the side of the valve cover closest to the firewall on the passenger side. It should be a triangular shaped plug I believe and the wire then runs underneath the ignition coil cover. The big hose connector coming off the valve cover in your pic on the left goes to a nipple on the intake pipe. The line that is coiled up goes to your BOV.

If you are fairly close, I wouldn't mind lending a hand either.

First pic. The fitting farther out goes to the intake. The fitting closer to the solenoid goes to the waste gate and turbo. Coming from the turbo run a hoes from the turbo to the solenoid. Then from the waste gate run a short hoes and T it in to the hoes coming from the turbo to the solenoid.

Second pics. The first barb goes to the intake. The second one you circled with the hoes on it will go to your BOV.

let me see if im getting this right...

the nipple on the top, goes to the black intercooler pipe that bolts to turbo, and bottom niple (vaccum hose attached in the pic) connects to a wastegate?

You will need the stock lines for it to work, because of the boost pill. it goes from the solenoid to a T and one line from there goes to the nipple on the turbo, and one to the nipple on the wastegate.
