connecting intercooler piping on hot side

First off, I just want to say I have been searching, and I still am. But I'm wondering the best way to hook up the piping on the hot side. Right know coming off the stock intercooler it has that T shaped piece that attaches to the air intake and has vacuum hoses that go to the pressure sensor. Right know I have an fcd hooked up because I upgraded my exhaust. after upgrading or porting the waste gate and doing whatever else I need so that I don't need the fcd can this stuff be removed and connect the intercooler piping with a straight peice there. I've been trying to find a good picture that shows this area well and see what other people did.

The MAP sensor's vac line doesn't connect to the turbo outlet pipe. It should connect to a post-TB nipple on the manifold.

If your wastegate mods drop boost below 8.6psi then the FDC becomes redundant. You can remove it if you want to or leave it there doing nothing. Up to you.

...and connect the intercooler piping with a straight peice there.
Don't you have the BAV valve and BOV connected to it?

Yeah I have a bov still to put on. I was wondering if most people just connect the intercooler pipng to the exact same place as the top mount, or is some of it bypassable.
