missing links are used to fool the map sensor into not seeing boost. it's a band aid fix and there are better ways around it. like installing a 2.5 or 3 bar map sensor. you can boost up to 11psi with the stock map sensor so if that's all you want leave the stock one in.

from your questions i would not rush into anything right now. sit down, take your time, and READ all you can.
