    External wastegate vacuum

    Lets say you had an external wastegate with 10psi spring and thats the amount of boost you want to run.

    Do you put a vacuum hose straight from turbo housing to the wastegate or do you still need to run some sort of boost controller (mbc)?

    Run the vac line only for spring rate pressure.

    There is 2 vacuum nipples on the wastegate which one is used? Or do you link them up via t-piece and connect other end to turbo housing?

    Connect to the bottom one only (closest to the manifold)

    You only need to connect the vac pipe to the bottom of the wastegate .. If you use a electronic boost controller or a ecu controlled boost solenoid then you connect to both ports on the wastegate
