cold side of the turbo (the compressor nipple) is a vac source.

the bottom line on my car goes to the compressor nipple as well.

it is? ive never seen vaccuum at that location.

the side port of the wastegate needs to go to BOOST source considering thats what opens a wastegate. many including TiAL will argue that it needs to be pre-throttle body. (ex: compressor cover) others run it to any vac source post throttle body will work as well. the wastegate will function either way.
