Typically I order all my AN stuff online, I can't get it anywhere locally. However, since you have a 1/8" npt on both the tee from the block and the turbo, you can just run a 1/8" high pressure line (like a hydralic line, you can get these at pretty much any parts store) with clamps. Of course you'll need a 1/8" barbed fitting for the line to fit over. Then you don't have to mess with any of the stainless AN stuff (although that looks a lot nicer).

No.

If you know what the wastegate is set to then you don't need it, no. For that matter, you cannot run anything LESS than what the wastegate is set to, a boost controller will only allow you to run MORE boost. (For example, if the wastegate is set to 7 psi, you can set the boost controller to run 8 or 9 psi, but you cannot set it to run 5 or 6 psi. The wastegate setting is the MINIMUM.)
