wastegate should have its own untapped vacuum source, comming from as close as possible or on the intake manifold. i tapped my brake booster line BEFORE the checkvalve and ran it right to the wastegate without tapping anything else into that vacuum line

You can do either, but I prefer Manifold becuase it's absolute pressure.

i prefer the compressor housing...my last couple of set ups ran better that way...seems to hold boost better between shifts n stuff...
