HKS Wastegate: For those who own one

I was dumb and marked the engine side of the Wastegate lines, then removed them completely from the wastegate, therefore I don't know where the lines go back onto the wastegate. There are two lines that go to the wastgate:
One goes to the connector on the end of the wastegate
One goes to the connector on the middle section of the wastegate

Which go where? One goes to the Boost controller, now is that the one on the end of the wastegate or in the middle?

Hope this makes sense,
Thanks

Didn't think that would make a difference, but a Profec A. I just need to know which connector on the wastegate goes to the boost controller. (One on the Middle or End end of the wastegate)

makes a huge difference if you have a manual compared to an electronic. The top of the wastegate goes to the boost controller's stepper motor. The side of the wastegate goes to a non-vacuum boost source
