Default Got 2 newb boost questions!?

Hey guys some of you know that I'm a nitrous guy and working on switching my 02 Vette to boost but I'm still learning all the basics.

1. I just received my Magnafuel 9950-B fuel regulator that's boost referenced and I need to know, does the BOV line, fuel reg boost ref line and brake booster line all need to go to the intake manifold? If so should these be "T" together?
Its hard to wrap my mind around how that'll work since normally the intake is "vacuum" environment and now it'll be a "pressurized" area how in the hell that works with the brake booster etc.

2. This 408 will see max of 20psi boost and I'm still running the stock GM computer and also converting to speed density tuned with no MAF, what map sensor do I need? My tuner says 3 bar, if so what one do i get and will it be plug n play to my Gen 3 harness?

Thanks, Any help is appreciated

Look up the blox vaccum block. I bought one and "T"d that to my vacuum line from the intake manifold to the brake booster. I ran both blow offs, boost gauge, and my vacuum shift hose for my trans off that. I ran a hose directly off the scroll of the turbo to my fuel regulator.

Since you aren't going above 20 psi, I would buy the direct plug and play 2.5 map sensor from dpe corvette.
