How do you run your vacuum lines?
I'm in the process of putting in my new MS3x, but all my vacuum lines are disconnected from my intake manifold. I can't remember how they were routed, so does anyone have any pictures (or could someone take some?) of where they tapped in for the MS vacuum signal. Also, routing of all the other vacuum lines would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I can get this sorted out and running tomorrow!

sorry to thread jack, but seeing as someone else is having this dilemma of vac routing:
Thinking about moving the FPR line to the rear of the manifold and T'ing off the MAP and Boost of the former FPR source.
I do have a begi 2 port vac distribution block installed in the brake booster line, which I'm not too keen of. Anyone have problems with that before? I want to just get rid of it and source my wastegate off the manifold

A little clarification, please (my install into 2000 normally aspirated Miata will start tomorrow). I have a capped connection on the front of intake manifold. it's always been capped, not sure what it's for originally. I also have a connection where (now removed) cruise control was attached at the back of the intake manifold.
Is one preferable to another for vacuum line connection?

This is what I did. Got rid of that solenoid and just connected the FPR right to the manifold. Then ran a line from the middle of the IM to the MS and teed in the boost gauge as well. Then ran a different line from my IM to my boost gauge and wastegate.
Haven't started up the car yet because my laptop and TunerStudio won't detect my MS. Not sure if the red lights are supposed to light up when it's in accessory position, but it won't connect.

I believe the solenoid has to do with boiling fuel or something on a hot restart. Not quite sure. But I know people with MS have removed it, so I did. Hopefully that set up will work, like I said, I haven't started the car yet. Kinda stuck.

Still N/A.
My DIYPNP is under the passenger side foot rest. The blue hose goes through an unused hole in the passenger side firewall.
I have one other free nipple (red circle). I'm wondering if I chose the best one for MAP. I'm maybe considering to t them together for a more accurate and stable signal.
Thoughts?

One-niner, the rear nipple on your pic (red circled) is the port where cruise control was plugged into on my car.
If I understood Brian correctly above, he says that there is a lot of turbulence there. Maybe he will clarify. I plugged my own vacuum hose to the same port as you show right behind the TB. The car started and idled today (yea!).
