depends how you want to run the gate. but easiest way is just take one line from inbetween the TB and turbo run it to the boost controller then run a line from there to the bottom of the gate.

I would drill and at least try to tap the first pipe that comes out of the turbo. Then you can seal it up with some JB weld. Yeah, I know...blah blah jb weld. It will look just fine. Or you can go pro and weld a bung into the pipe. Then thread it and put in the brass nipple. That would prob look cleaner/better/more professional. But not sure what level you are workn at

Im running a Profec B spec II and for mine, i have the one side going off the controller, into a T, one end of the T goes to the compressor housing, the other to the Side of the wastegate. THen my other line on the BC goes to the top of the wastegate.
