The wastegate is important so you don't just boost to infinity, or blow the turbo up which ever comes first. I prefer a positive boost reference source right out of the turbo housing, but some people use a vac feed from the plenum. Either way will work.

The BOV must come from the plenum after the throttle body.

Not sure what all info you need, it's pretty basic. Can you be more specific, or post some pics.

Depending on the brand of the waste gate and bov you have but you can connect the turbo housing to one of the ports of the waste gate. You will have to plug the other 2 ports. Your BOV can be connect to one of the vacume line in the air intake chamber. On some BOVs , there are 2 ports, in that case you put a Tee at the turbo housing then 1 line go to the waste gate and 1 line go to the BOV. Also make sure you have a line to you FIC.
