BOV, wastegate and boost guage
hey just wanted to make sure im connecting things right.....the boost guage and BOV connect to the vacuum line by a T fitting and the wastegate connects to a nipple on the charge pipe right before the throttle body (a part under boost)?
BOV connects to vaccuum boost connects into a t fitting on the intake manifold or a pipe after ther turbo close to the tb. The wastegate connects to the turbo with a vacuum hose

Everything reads off of vacuum/boost. Everything is regulated by manifold pressure. Everything should be connected via vacuum line to the intake manifold. The wastegate doesn't control the turbo. All the wastegate does is release excess boost pressure above the desired amount of boost via a spring.
Best bet for all of these people asking these questions is to pick up a vacuum manifold and connect all of your vacuum lines to it.
