Vacuum Source For Wastegate?

Well, I just replaced my Delta Gate with a TiAL Wastegate, because the DG wasnt opening. Now the Tial is also not opening. I need to know the best vacuum source for the wastegate. Where do most of you guys hook up the bottom nipple to. Hopefully its just my Profec B messing up. I'm gonna try to run the vacuum lines like I have no boost controller and see if that fixes it. So I guess my question is what is the best source of vacuum I can hook it up to? Please Help

A vaccum source will work as well since they see pressure as well...sources are fpr, brake booster line, etc.

Re: (99B16Si)

vaccum and pressur points are the same... your in vacum then you boost and it turns to pressure, not a dificult thing. I just ran mine off of my compresor housing.
