The vaccum lines arent to difficult. You can go to google images and find plenty of pics that showing routing from wastegate to compressor to a vaccum source. Not to difficult. what turbo are you using? what are you planning on doing? as for the WHO to build it, that can be you. Buy a set of Truck manifolds and if you have a welder all you have to do is tack the pieces together. Pretty much build your kit, then take it to someone or a fab shop and have them finish weld it. Get it back and just bolt it on. Hope this helps.
