I bought some hard LICP, It came with the larger elbow as well that comes off the turbo. Question is, the stocker has a hose that comes off it and runs down to the the wastegate, BUT the new one has no such nipple to plug that hose back into. Am I missing something, what do I do with the hose then that runs off the waste gate???
 
either Tee it into your BOV line, or drill/tap your new i/c pipe and install a vacuum nipple in it. The right way would be to drill/tap and install the nipple, but people tee into their BOV line constantly and it seams to work.
 
Just did the same thing with my car today. Wasn't that bad after all.
 
Like the above posted link says, drill & tapp the pipe to install a barbed fitting. Ting into the BOV can be a temp fix but isn't recommend. You can run into issues with the BOV not operating correctly & also have issues with poor boost control.
