Default Fiesta turbo in kit car questions

Hiya guys, i have officially gone down the route of changing my ERST engine to EFI and is now more of an FRST than escort (is an actual fiesta block).
I have some questions for you about the plumbing of fueling and vacuum hoses etc! wahey!

1. My T3 turbo has 2 Vacuum tube take off's, where do they go?
2. Where do i connect the vacuum tube that leads from the actuator? Am i correct in saying it goes to the inlet manifold?
3. Will an ERST Fuel pump pump at the correct fuel pressure?

I am running a non injector fuel tank so the system is going to be:
tank - Low P fuel pump - fuel filter - swirl pot - High P fuel pump - injectors - regulator - swirl pot

4. Will i need another filter either side of the high pressure fuel pump and will it need to be a high pressure filter?
5. Has anyone got a website detailing the hoses and electronics and shows where these attach to the engine? I have modified an XR3I inlet manifold for my engine and its nowhere near the same as the EFI fiesta manifold!
6. I have come across a ported head, it seems to be quite a bit bigger than a std head, no idea on valve sizes and it has had the valve guide ground away so thats all smooth (same as rest of port). How much power do these give on std engine and tuned engine?

Regards, Mudge
