i used the hood latch cable... i guess you could use some bicycle cable also.
and just ran the wiring around the passenger strut sort of until i could find a comfortable spot where i can bolt the wastegate "actuator" down and ran the cable to that.
i had to set a spring on the lever that goes on the wastegate that pulls and maintains it closed.

When I turbo'd my 6 port, the exaust manifold bolts were slightly to lose and it blew out the gasket, hence not building boost for ****. Well, I didnt have an exaust on so I couldnt tell it was leaking.

Such a odd thing to do, the auto sucks (I got one) it's got like some secret gear that it likes to drop in that goes to about 40, the normal 1st gear goes to 70ish redline....

well i took that manifolds apart to recheck everything a second time around, and while i was at it i made sure i had all gaskets in, and everything was tightened to as good of a judgement as i could as far as torque specs went.
and yes i'm keeping it automatic, no real reason behind keeping it auto. i kind of just wanted to get my feet wet in learning how to put together all the turbo stuff, and what is needed to put one together.
if i were to do this again.. i wouldnt to be very honest.
i would much rather run some aftermarket parts instead of modifying the stock parts to fit. lol.
i just hope cutting back some fuel with my neo afc helps me build boost.
i havent had a chance to drive it since my brakes need a bleeding.
iv'e only free revved it in the driveway.

(FYI. this isnt my project car lol =D)
