Default Vacum Line Connections on series 2 rs turbo

Hi I need all your help here.

I am just in the process of fitting a fiesta efi rs turbo cvh engine into my mk4 efi orion. This is my first turbo engine.
Engine is now in and I am now stuck with where all the small vacum lines should go.
I have a outlet on the actuator, one on the garret t3 turbo housing, one on top of the intake manifold, and i need to connect a line from boost gauge which has a tee peice, and also a line from top a boost gauge, but no idea which order the pipes go and where the tee peice goes.
Any help greatley appreciated. Dont want to cock it up.
Paul

You don't have to run one no, just connect the compressor housing to the actuator. The actuator may need adjusting though.

As above really you can just run it on actuator pressure.
