Are you running an electronic boost controller or a manual boost controller?

A wastegate is connected differently depending on wether you have an EBC or a MBC. What one are you going to get?

One port of the MBC to the side (signal) port on the wastegate. The other port on the MBC goes to vacuum. I personally have a barb in my charge piping just after the turbo that I used.

Some use the intake as a reference point as it shows the true PSI after pressure drop from piping and intercooler.
Most just use the turbo's fitting

Yeah thats just another port for your Boost control, i believe if youhave a manual boost controller the lower port is used and if you have an electronic one that the top one is used.. I could be wrong correct me if I am

technically this in incorrect. not all setups even use a boost controller. the wastegate just needs a boost signal to the bottom port to function on its own. the OP is asking whether to use a boost only reference (pre-throttle body) or a vaccumm source (intake manifold).

while both can be used, wastegate manufactuers will recommend the boost only source, this way the wg diaphragm doesn't ever have vaccumm applied to it.

an MBC will tee into the bottom port, while an EBC used both top and bottom ports.
