Default zetec turbo conversion last niggles need a nudge in the rite direction

Hi gents, this is abit long but hopefully its the last push to get me on the road again so please bare with me; basically as the title states i have a 2 ltr zetec which has been converted to turbo using fiesta rs turbo inlet and exhaust manifolds along with decompression plate. i have put it into my mk5 escort which started out as a 1.8 xr3i.

Im now on the tail end of the conversion and have a few niggles to sort, firstly the engine management-im using a ofab ecu and loom, the problem being the zetec loom had cam and crank sensor and the ofab loom has just the crank sensor plug so im assuming i still stick it on the crank sensor, problem being i have no spark??

other niggles include the loom has not got a temp sensor plug?? and also no plug for the idle control valve?? the zetec had the idle control plug in with the injector rail and i cant patch it over due to a completly different multi plug.

Im also at a loss with the vacuum pipes-i have two on the inlet manifold directly under the fuel rail which i have for now joined together with vac pipe, the other is under the throttle body which i have joined onth the fuel rail think its the rite place. i have the map sensor and dont no where to give it a vac from,im assuming from one of the feeds from inlet manifold, and lastly i have a amal valve plug and dont no if ill have to earth it or out to trick the ecu or something?

Any help and advice is very much apreciated i want to get it back on the road and then eventually remap it
