i will go through my pics and see what i have, the vacum port i ground down and filled with weld and plugged the threaded hole. you have to in order to make it clear your fuel filter housing.
i cant recall the part number off hand but the turbo outlet should look much smaller than the rest of the pipe.i dont know what the other 2 boots are for? youshould have 2 orange reducers.

I believe it is aluminum? I took a angle grinder and grinded off the tubes and then and broke out the mig and tacked the holes up. The outside of the top tube appeared to steel.. Aluminum or not I used a mig on it.
I got my boots from dieselsite. I know people have got them from another source aswell, but can't remember the website.

the housing is aluminum, but the vacum tab is metal, a quick tack is enough, i just cut it off with a pair of side cutters and crimped it with lineman pliers and gave it a quick tack with the mig.
the clamp on your turbo is reused but i recomend a new o-ring, odds are yours will be oily and stretched. the orange boots you need are ordered for the same year as the y-pipe, early build date 99. i beleve its 2.5 inch to 2 inch reducers and it uses standard hose clamps to hold it tight.

I believe its 2 3/8" to 2" although I think people are using 2.5 - 2 from intakehoses.com

i used my stock clamp to hold the turbo to the x-pipe with no issues, and or leaks.
again, the housing is aluminum but the tab for the map line on a sd is metal, what is left of it can be seen in my 3rd pic below the fuel filter lid lip. its just a nub now but started out as a flared metal tube the pointed to the passenger side of the engine bay.
you cant see my second hole that i used a pipe plug on, its actualy behind the filter housing just to the right of the vacum nipple. the flat square area in the first picture is the way the x-pipe comes. that is where the wastegate actuator bracket sat
