hook the wastegate vac line up to the compressor housing if theres a nipple, otherwise any solid vac source will do...as for the "backprobing of the ECU"....you're on your own there. It does sound like fun

Yes, connect the wastegate to any vacuum source.

You really need to get a copy of the installation instructions for that. Connecting the blue box to the ecu requires cutting into the stock harness. It's not plug and play.

It's suppose to go to the intake pipe before the turbo. I have a breather on mine, but I also have a catch can and no PCV.

What he said ^
Plus, if you really don't want to cut the stock wiring harness, an extention can be bought for about $50. You can hack it all up and put it back stock whenever you want just by unplugging it.

Peel, solder and shrink wrap, do not tape your ecu connections
You HAVE to cut the MAP for the eManage
