Default Just boosted for the first time!

Well I have everything bolted up except downpipe, (goes on first thing tomorrow morning) but i took it out for a test drive, and wow, I was boosting 10psi by 4k rpm, unfortunatly my wastegate is only suppose to allow 7-8psi, luckily I run uberdata and the boost cut shut me down (did even know i was boosting that high as I was still at low rpm and wasn't going that fast) I just was wondering what the best way to hook up the wastegates vacuum lines are, right now i have the lower nipple going to the turbo's nipple, and then the top nipple going to the evac canister, but I guess that doesn't work to well I'm going to order a vacuum manifold from golden eagle (unless there is a cheaper one out there that works just as well? But in the mean time, what is the best way to hook this up, and why does the wastegate have two nipples? what is the purpose of each, thanks!

The top nipple is for a boost controller. If you dont have one, leave it open.

close, top nipple is for an electronic BC. A manual BC will just be inline off the bottom one.

what made you connect the WG to the EVAP canister?!

If are just looking for a cheep vacuum manifold go to your local parts store and get a plastic one...Or go to a junk yard. All order Chevy vans have them some fords. you car go to Chevy parts (the place were you buy Chevy cars) parts department and get a nice one. The price is about $45 for one that has a 3/8th in and 6 I think 1/8th out???? I know the in is a 3/8th on the out I am not to sure.
