The wastegate vacuum/signal line just needs to be tee'd into any vacuum sorce on the TB.
Whats the rest of your planned set up?

TB-> Throttle body. guys realize that not all of us know these short terms like TB. anyway yeah just Get a small brass or plastic T and use one of the vaccum lines on your TB, there are 2 different lines you can use that come off your TB i think, i'm not sure how many there are on a D15 engine but in a D16 there are 2 that i am using. and remember dont over boost that little engine, i say about 3-4 psi would be good
