Im thinking about removing them three push on pipe fittings on the phase 1 inlet and then drilling and tapping it with two -3 or similar fittings for my boost solenoid and ecu...
If its threaded then I would rather use a braided hose.. especially on my external wastegate.. why risk blowing a pipe off with three bar???
Opinions?

Indeed, but engines do get hotter on the dyno. Don't forget you'll (probably) have the bonnet vent.
Normal braided rubber hose will do me!
But I do see your point about the heat and stuff, which is probably a better argument. Although I would be tempted to just route the hoses more thoughtfully, or have braided sections near the turbo only, or even rigid pipe near the WG, similar to the water pipes on the turbo.
At least you should be able to get it all assembled on the stand first to check it out.
