HKS standered wastgate question

Does anyone know where I can get a dump tube for the Standered HKS Wastgate. Also there are two tapted holes on the wastgate, I know one is to hook up a vacuum line to control boost but which one is it and what is the other tapted hole for. Thanks.

If I'm correct the top hole goes to the boostcontroller and the bottom hole goes to the manifold pressure. Check www.greddy.com and than the instruction booklet for the B spec II boostcontroller, there are some good pictures in it which show how to connect an external wastegate.

Is your wastegate open atmosphere or plumbed back into the exhaust. Otherwise when you cant find the flange gasket use liquid gasket.

With no boost controller, just connect manifold pressure to the side port and leave the top port open.

If you have a boost controller, look at the instructions it comes with.
