On mtecks fitting guide is says you need to cut a hole in the top of the bulkhead so the powercap will fit in it, but My brake hoses run, where Im supposed to cut a hole. What do I do?

as long as its not 6" from a suspension point or structural area i.e chassis rails etc its not classed as a structural area and you can cut it to your hearts content

Linkage - If you used the pvd/m-tech kit you need to extend both parts of the linkage by 15mm.

As for the cutting of the bulkhead - it's not really the bulkhead you cut, it's the thin bit of tin coming off the bulkhead that the scuttle panel fits to.

IMO the power cap looks a neater job, but then have you seen sinkyboy's with the SFI box? that looks
