LOL went with a hallman MBC Pro after messing with the turbosmart BC...
BUT thats cuz we thought the turbosmart BC was bad. IT wasn't. My bro wired it in so I can't help out there, i'll let him know about this post to see if he'll chime in.
(I suck at wiring stuff up BIG TIME
)
As for the vac lines, It went turbo-boost tee-side port of the WG, top port of the WG open, if I remember right....been awhile since I had it on the car.

def a confusing piece of hardware...the hallman pro MBC is sooooo much nicer and easy to adjust.
Hope it works out, the second stage is just a solenoid that opens up like a N2O solenoid. You should be able to hear it click when you throw the switch.

so went for a drive.....with the switch off i believe i went from a 45 roll and slowly rolled into it in 4th so boost would come on slower.it slowly rose to ~6-8psi and let out.with the switch on it jumped up to 10psi fast and i let out.im tuned for at least 10psi since i never got a good pull when i dyno'd b4 he made it safe that way if i fixed the boost issue id have myself covered.only thing im concerned about now is how high boost would go if i kept my foot in it.The car even sounds different now lol,the BOV sounds pissed off and loud at hell now!
