the boost controoler is an add-on for the power fc , like $500, it's basically the same as getting the avc-r. uses the same soilnoid and stuff. Better off with a stand alone boost controller though. As far as all those lines go.....JUNK THEM. I have a similar setup(pfc,to4e,blah blah blah) Theese are my vaccum lines. 1 from manifold to the BOV, 1 from manifold to map sensor, 1 from manifold to wastegate, 1 from wastegate to boost solinoid, 1 from soilinoid to manifold, 1 from manifold to FPR. Thats about it yep a whole 6 lines

You can use the PFC to control your turbo as is. The $500 kit is just for solenoids and a MAP sensor for High Boost

I think the stock boost sensor only reads to 1.1 bar over that it is good idea to get a 2.0 bar sensor.
