Just use a standard size line that fits the fitting very snugly. Get a little thicker for WG to Turbo compressor housing though.

Yes. You want the vac line to the WG as short as possible and connected to the compressor housing.

Yes you can use the same size as the FPR. If possible, get the next size up if it fits very snugly.

Right. I add a tiny zip tie to all my vac lines as a little precaution.

This should give you a better idea of how to run it. My only advice is get vac hose that fits over the vac barbs on your bov, wastegate, etc...there really isn't a standard size.

the "fast-turbo" part is a vaccuum block. it gets fed off the big line running to the IM (labeled red) and then has outlets for each accessory. generally 1/4" line works for vac lines.

use your oem fpr, you do not need blox. rather than creating new threads, keep researching as it seems you have lots of entry level questions that have been answered before. the FAQ has tons of info, if you cant find your answer then open up a new thread

As far as the FPR goes, get a B&M one. To use it you must modify your factory FPR. I think you can find them all day long new for $30.
