Wastegate doesnt need a vacuum source...only needs a source that shows it boost.

T it into any vacuum source from the Intake Manifold (because they will see boost as well) or hook it up to the nipple on your turbo.

T into the brake booster line which is the huge vacum line coming out from the drivers side firewall into the IM.

you only need to use that other port if you are running an electronic boost controller. just the boost line will be fine if you are letting the spring decide or are using a manual boost controller

oh whoops...in that case what WG are you using? i'm assuming a TiAL...Top port goes to your AVC-R silenoid (sp?) and the side port goes to your compressor housing, or any other vac source (brake booster, FPR, etc.)

Don't hook it up to your turbo. It's better to hook it up as close to the intake manifold as possible; at the very least after the intercooler.

it might see boost pressure a little less than what it will see closer to the manifold, but people don't realize that with a MBC, you can just adjust it to compensate for the difference in boost readings........

Hook the side port of the WG to the intake mani and if you are using an EBC, hook the top port to the EBC.
