Default vacuum lines

this is gonna sound stoopid, but is anyone good at installing vacuum lines? i think mine are messed up somehow. be willing to pay to take 15 minutes of your time to redo them. this is my first turbo car, so i'm not really sure what i'm doing.

Dont redo them, get rid of them. All you need is the one from the fuel pressure regulator to the intake and then there is one form the intake to the BOV.

That should be T`ed off the line from the intake to the BOV.
I was refering to vacuum lines that go to the motor.
So then you should also have a line coming off the line running from the bov to the intake. This line should go to the MBC then out of the mbc and to the wastegate.

If you are using a mbc then you done need all those lines that go to the factory boost control seliniod. Start pulling and capping them.

If you didnt get the boost gauge hooked up yet you can T-off the line from the fuel pressure reg to intake manifold.
