never t off any thing that connects to the wastgate the wg should always have its own vacuum source

if you look though the FAQ they have some good step by step instructions fo running/installing bov vacuum lines ect

ive set mine up by whats posted here in the faq and my local tuner was surprised...

1) Run a vac line from bottom of wastegate to silver port on MBC and then another vac line from compressor housing on turbo to other port on MBC. This is done, don't change it.
2) Put the blox vacuum manifold in line with the brake booster using T provided. Run BOV, Boost gauge from it and block all other unused ports off.

What type of Greddy BOV is it? There shouldn't be more than one vacuum port on it. The thing on top should be only an adjustment screw.

Can you post a pic of it. I have a RS too and it only has one. I even just googled images and they all have one too.

EDIT: Seems you have a Greddy S. As posted above dont use the smaller/bottom nipple.
