Default Help with tial wastegate

I have a drag turbo kit for my 2000 honda accord. The problem is that I'm only boosting 3 psi. So I'm guessing that the wastegate is not hooked up right. So can someone tell me how to hook up the wastegate. I'm not sure which one it is but it was the upgrade tial wastegate from import parts.

check all of your charge pipes...one might have blown a little off, preventing you from boosting to your full potential.

Are you sure your wastegate is down tight? It might be loose...check your charge pipes too.

I checked all my pipes and they are fine.

The next question is will I have vac lines going to both ports on the wastegate or just to the port on the side?

have the vac line come out the one on the side. The top port is for an electronic boost controller, and if you arent using one then leave it open. If you are using a manual boost controller, use the vac line on the side.
