Yea it would help to know which lines you are talking about. However, as a general rule of thumb I usually run a vaccuum block (ie Full-Race sells one) that you can hook up the brake booster to, and then a big line from the intake manifold for your vaccuum...and then you should still have 5 ports left to hook up all your vaccuum lines from your wastegate, BOV, fpr, boost controller, etc

Here's how my old setup worked. This should give you a pretty good idea of what to shoot for...

The "backflow valve" is the one-way check valve in the vacuum line from the manifold to the brake booster. Without it you would feed pressurized air into your braking system effectively taking away your ability to brake under boost. Its not the end of the world, but its a problem i'd rather avoid. BTW, it comes stock on Hondas...leave it there
