FC oem wastegate and blowoff vacuum routing

I need some help on vacuum routing for a 90 S5 Turbo2 motor that I have dropped into a 1970 Triumph GT6. Still have a few more things to do before I can test drive. I am trying to find a good picture of the routing of the oem wastegate with a manual boost control and the blowoff valve. Right now I have the Tial blowoff valve going to the big vacuum port just behind throttle cable but it doesn't seem to be opening under boost.

As for the wastegate the vacuum line comes out of the front of the turbo into the manual boost control then out the boost control straight to the wastegate. Is this the proper way to route it? I've looked at google images and they keep coming up with a wastegate with 2 ports which I don't have so not 100% sure how to do this. I tried T ing off the vacuum line going to the haltech ECU for the blowoff valve but all that did was open the blowoff valve all the time. My understanding is that it shouldn't open until the throttle is snapped closed.

I'll keep looking for answers but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok nevermind with more searching I think i have things set right. I need a stronger spring in blowoff valve as it is supposed to be open at idle. Didn't know that but now I do.
