yeah deffinitley 1st one, 2nd is for egr junk. the hose you want is the one that is hooked to the FPR on the end of the fuel rail, closest to the firewall.

yep, first one...if you look closely at it, it goes directly into the intake manifold, and that's what you want..

ok so i got thrown off you can hook your bov, boost gauge, and waste gate to your brake booster line. or only the bov and the boost gauge to the fpr line? im doing this as we speak so im trying to find out how to do it right the first time.

you can use the either or it is your decision. I know for sure the fpr can be used for boost gauge and bov.

either works.. both are comming directly off the intake manifold, and that's what you're looking for.. anything that requires a boost signal can come off these two lines. (brake, and fpr)

No the picture is incorrect. The fuel rail should be "fuel pressure regulator" and the fuel pressure regulator should be "intake manifold"

The vacuum line is the line is connected to the intake manifold. The engine gives it suction - like a vacuum.
