okay so in figure 7, since i don't have a nipple source on my turbo i should get the vacuum off the manifold?

some do that. In my experience, especially when using a very efficient airflow wheel, the compressor nipple is actually too strong of a reference point that causes boost creep issues when the tuner is using the solenoid to target wastegate spring boost levels.

I've never used the compressor housing (even if nipple is available, I plug it up).
But there has been a whole contorted debate about the whole thing I refuse to into because of its redundancy.
