Default Vaccum nipples on Turbo and wastegate

Okay I have three questions....I have a 95 Prelude vtec with a drag 2 turbo kit. (T3/T04B Super V)

1) On the Delta waste gate, what is the top vaccum port for? The one next to the
bolt for adjusting the pressure of boost.

2) On the Delta wastegate, what is the nipple on the side of the waste gate for?

3) On the Intake side of the turbo, there is also a vaccum nipple, what is that for?

Thanks in advance!!!

Top is for electronic boost controller. The one on the side should go to the intake manifold, and if y ou have a manual boost controller...inturrept this line. The nip on the turbo is absolute pressure, another electronic boost controller relation. Plug it if you dont run an EBC.

What do people usually plg it with? i have a little 1/8th NPT plug, but it has no head lip, it is a hex head, and im scared it could get loose and destroy my turbo, any suggestions??

someone told me that i should run the nipple on the intake turbo side into the nipple on the wastegate and tee it off to the MBC...what do you guys think?

This setup doesn't seem to work with the Profec B though....anyone disagree?
