Default wastegate setup????

which vacuum hoses go where? i have a delta wastegate and i have one hose running from the side of the wastegate to same vacuum source as my boost gause and fmu. seems to run fine but wastegate makes a funny clanging metal sound. all my frens have theirs running from the side of the wastegate to the nipple on the side of the snail. i tried this but i end up boosting 10lbs at like 4000rpm, which is way too much for me. do i have mines hooked up wrong or do i need a boost contorller or sumtin. could someone give me a break down of were the vacuum hoses are supposed to go and what is the vacuum source on the top of the wastegate for.

the side port should be a vacume after the throttle body. The top port is for and EBC or MBC.

Cap the vacuum nipple on the turbo.

Run Vacuum from the back of the intake manifold to a t which provides vacuum for the wastegate and brake booster, as well as whatever else you must hook up (BOV, FPR, etc) and you will be good to go.
