Default Top vacuum nipple on throttle body.

I am installing a full-race turbo kit on a JDM B18C swapped 1991 civic EF.
My question is this, There is a vacuum nipple on top of the throttle body, (originally hooked up to the charcoal canister) Can I use it as vacum source and hook the wastegate to this nipple?

Thanks guys

No! The best source is from the comp housing on the turbo, but i run mine off the big nipple on my Skunk 2 mani and it works fine

I agree that the vac for the wastegate should be from a boost only source, meaning there is never vac present.

turbo compressor housings, hot side of the charge pipes are good places to tap a fitting in.
