its pretty simple.. find a way to pipe the wastegates output into your downpipe. theres lots of people saying how bad it is to do it close to the turbo and how much power you loose.. its hard to say whats the right way.. the f-max kit pipes it in the top of the elbow right off the turbo creating a vacuum when the wastegate is in use

basicly use your imagination

You might want to check out the book, Maximum boost by Corky Bell. He explains the reason behind the downpipe closed loop really well. He also suggests that the wastegate should not connect to the exhaust pipe any closer than 18 inches from the turbo outlet. That is pretty far away. It has to do with the turbulence the wastegate causes on the turbo exhaust.

Go check out the book at barnes and noble.
