Ok so you want to have the MAP sensor, FPR, fuel tank vent valve (the thing with the red wiring plug and 2 outlets) and any other vacuum pipes you have all connected to the vacuum outlets on the inlet manifold. You may have a vacuum pipe coming across from the passenger side that comes out of a solenoid. This in turn has a pipe that goes to the 'flying saucer' on top of the exhaust manifold. The solenoid on the passenger side of the car is for the SAI system so if you have that it can be removed or left in place. Some of those solenoids have 1 pipe coming across to the inlet manifold, a yellow one and a green one, some only 1 but either way connect them all into the vacuum pipes with the T-pieces.
Do not connect the breather that comes off the rocker cover into this vacuum system as it can cause running problems and increase emissions which I found out one MOT time. Leave that breather on the rocker cover to vent to atmosphere.
The fuel tank vent valve should have 2 hoses going into it- 1 comes round the back of the engine and is a black plastic one. This can sometimes come disconnected during the fitting procedure and fall down the back of the engine. You should be able to trace it from the drivers side because it runs from the charcoal canister. Plug that into 1 outlet of the vent valve and the other run a hose into the other vacuums. I have included a picture of mine, the upper pipe (black plastic one) is the one that comes from the charcoal canister and the lower outlet is the one that is connected into the vacuum pipes with T-pieces.
You will also need to remove the original throttle body mounting bracket and get a blanking plate in there similar to the one in the pic here.
Hopefully that should help
