Icon3 BOV and Wastegate Vacuum lines

im going to put a Turbo on my 92 honda prelude and im kinda new at this..so kinda bear with me if i ask stupid questions..

One.. the Motor i have is the 2.2 non Vtec.. was wondering if the engine can be Turbod.. which im sure it can But is there anything i should look out for before i start?

two.. The vacuum lines to the BOV.. on the car what line is it? or can it just be anyline. just as long as theres Vacuum in it? cause like ive tested all my lines and they all have vacuum at idle.. and at high rpms.. doesnt the vacuum have to stop when you take you're foot off the gas to open the valve? lol this is stuff that kind of confuses me xD so kinda hoping you guys can help

three.. Pretty much the same with the Wastegate.

and four... How much psi do you think the engine can handle?

Again sorry for the newbish questions Im just geting into this and i'd like to do it right the first time xD

first if u dont know were the vac lines go research before u boost not trying to be a dick but it dounds like u dont know what ur doing and that motor wont last long if u dont know what ur doing, the bov can tee off any vacuum source the waste gate goes to the compressor housing, 8psi is safe with a good TUNE what ems are u useing? that is the most important thing is to get it tuned, do not drive it tow it to the tuner
