Default Quick install questions?

I am finishing up my Radix install and I have a couple of quick questions. Looking at the blue arrows in the picture, I can not figure out what connects to each location. I am sorry for the dumb question but I just cant figure it out. Also I heard that soldering the maf wires is not the way to do it, Let me know if that is true. Also does anybody have any tips for installing a new pulley for the Radix.

The small nipple can be plugged and the PCV goes to the TB.

As for the solder, I have done it on early every install I have ever done.

The only advice I have about the pulley is:

1) Tune
2) Tune
3) Tune
4) No Air tools
5) No Air tools
6) No Air tools
7) Tq pulley to 45 ft pounds
8) Tq pulley to 45 ft pounds
9) Tq pulley to 45 ft pounds

I thought the PCV hose went from the passenger side valve cover to the brass barb on the inlet tube?

You would plug the inlet tube and use the vac port on the TB.

I tried to use the existing PCV hose but it is not long enough. Do I need to buy a new one? If so what kind of hose should I use?

Regular bulk fuel line you get at your parts store should work fine.
