For an external wastegate, you would use both. Side port goes to boost reference (before or after throttle plate is ok), and the top port comes in from the boost controller solenoid (COM port).

You use the NC solenoid port for external wastegates and it also goes to a boost reference (before or after throttle plate is ok).

The boost gauge has the ability to also read vacuum and boost, so it needs to be referenced to the intake manifold (after the throttle plate). Same goes for your BOV.

The injectors clips don't have polarity. Make sure that the injectors are saturated/high-impedance units if you're not alredy using a resistor pack.

Take some time to secure your steel braided lines or at least firesleeve the them if they have to be rubbing against stuff or close to sources of heat.

You can use a Golden Eagle vacuum manifold and tee into the brake booster line before the check valve to supply everything with vacuum and boost sources. That's probably the easiest way to do it. Any other way would involve a lot of drilling & tapping or a lot of tee'ing off of vacuum lines that are too small to be spread so thin.

The NC port is found on the electronic boost controller's wastegate solenoid....you have to have one first. I'm partial to the A'pexi AVC-R over the GReddy Profec Spec B II, altho I've used both and either works well to control target boost levels and wastegate doody cycle.

If you don't plan on running an EBC, then you can just hook up the wastegate side port directly to the vacuum manifold. Leave the top port vented to atmospheric pressure.

Goodridge and Aeroquip both make a variety of firesleeving in orange and other colors. Use .44" ID since -4AN is roughly .425" to .430" OD I think. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com
or PM Stan (Flamenco-T) for the Goodridge stuff...but I'm not sure if he stocks any of that stuff since a lot of people probably don't buy it.

Your feed line looks massive too.

I would swap for a -3an or run a restrictor.
