1. Only if you have an FMU
2. Yes, assuming you are boosting 6 or 8psi.
3. You never need a turbo timer, ever.
4. Wastegate goes to compressor housing, BOV goes to manifold

I agree with all but 4. Actually half agree. It can go to either the compressor housing or intake manifold.

I would recommend the intake manifold so the boost drop across the intercooler is taken into account.

Then the nipple on the compressor housing would you just leave it vented, if you ran the line from the intake manifold?

No, you'd have to cap it off if you decided not to use it.

1 yes with fmu, no to make any reliable power
2 not really, just idle a minute or 2 then shut off
3 i would like to see the gate go to the compressor, and put the b.o.v. to the pcv line if poss

run that to the wastegate. it is more consistent
