the bov hooks up to the vacuum. it goes nowhere near the wg or turbo. its near the intake manifold. there is a little sensor near the TB on the drivers side that is black/green and says max regulated pressure 1psi. That is the vacuum line. You need to tap into there, before the sensor I just mentioned, and before the other sensor up further on the same hose. Where the hose starts bending down, somewhere in there is where you cut and use a T-fitting. Just make sure its before the two sensors more towards the firewall not towards the front of the car.

Hope this helps, my explaining sucks. I may have a pic in my pictures if you want to look. I have a t fitting with 3 hoses coming out (BOV, Injection control unit, boost gauge all in the same t fitting 2 bucks at autozone for the piece). just look under the engine pics under check out my ride

I dont know about the wastegate. Mine turbo is internally wastegated, and came all hooked up. Mine had a hose going from the turbo to the wastegate. There was a hose on the turbo air intake inlet I believe. Id search on here about how to hook up a boost controller.
