External Wast Gate Plumbing?

I have a just bought a second hand HKS kit and i would just like to make sure the Pipeing is right before i run it.

Ok, There is two pipes of the wast gate a large one halfway down it and a small one on the top.

can any one tell me where they are suposed to be conected to?

I know it sounds like i dont know what i'm doing but i am not sure about it and i dont want to Kill my engine becouse i dont want to look daft.

Thanks.

You are talking about the wastgate vac lines Or the piping? For the vac lines it depends on what kind of boost controller you are going to use. If you are going to just run off of the spring then the pressure line from the manifold should go to the side of the wastegate and leave the one on top alone.

Yeh the Vac pipes, i know the wast gate out let pipe goes to the Exhaust down pipe.

I will be running a Profect B but at the moment i have a 10psi spring fitted and will be not using a Boost controler.

So for this set up i will only need the large conector in the center of the Wastgate?

What is the small one on the top for?

Thanks.
