one nipple should be where you hook to the compressor and the other one is where you run that line to youre intake after the AFM that's where it vents, you don't have to hook that up but you'll run rich and get a nice pop.
you might want to keep asking around

Regarding the above, HUH? He's talking about a wastegate, not a recirculating BOV...
To the original poster, it helps if you tell us which wastegate you are using. You will find that one nipple acts on the diaphram to oppose the spring. That's where you connect your boost line.

one on the side to the compressor
the other one at the top/end goes to the EBC or MBC.
How it works is, if you have a 8psi spring, 8psi goes into the side, and the wastegate opens
the top one works negatively, if you want 12 psi, you put in 12psi from the side, and 4 psi on the top.

it works against it. the 8 psi from the side is telling it to open but the 4 psi from the top is telling it not to. there for once 12psi is reached thru the side it combats the psi from the top and opens the gate

external wastegate works because one is pushing against the spring, and one is pushing with.... you dont really need a diagram... dont ya agree?
read what NZ said... he explains it better than i did, i suppose?
