On my car i've pretty much just gone with the stock setup for vacuum lines modified for my parts. For the boost gauge i tee'd in to the small u-shaped line on the intake manifold, and my BPV and wastegate are still on the same line coming off of the intake mani, from the stock t location. The line to the BPV is really long, because it is located by the bottom passenger side corner of the radiator. When i had a boost controller, it was just located in line with the wasteage, after the tee that separates the BPV and wga.

Is there a better way i should set things up?? I was considering trying to buy a vacuum block, but its a little more expensive than i thought it would be, and i don't know how to hook up vac lines to 1/8th NPT fittings like the vibrant vacuum block has.

Anyone got suggestions?

run your bpv off of the brake booster, run wastegate off top vacuum port on im by itself, keep guage where its at

you could also get the multi vac line adapter and hook it up to the brake booster, you have to be careful cutting(do a search) but it is a great vac source.

is that what you're doing?? I seem to remember you had the vibrant vacuum block, do i need one of those to run the bpv off the brake booster?

no, i just have a special little tee. i have an extra one, i can remember i can give it to you next time i am in san marcos. run your bpv off of the booster. make a single line from wastegate to top of manifold

+1 .. I have the MAM vacuum block there with everything running off of it. Works great.
