HKS Wategate Questions.
I have an HKS standard wastegate, but I lost the instructions. It has two vacuum fittings, but I don't know which one does what. Thanks.

The one on the side goes to a boost source. Anywhere that have boost pressure without manifold vacume like before the throttle body. Most used source would be on the turbo outlet.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can figure it out before my car is running again. All that's left is that and waiting for UPS. Of course a better exhaust manifold would help as well...hint hint.

The T-78 is already in the car. So I tapped the u-bend I have coming off of it. I warapped the lines to the wastegate in heat wrap because it looks like they would get cooked without it.
