ok there is a diference when hooking the wastegate up to the compressor housing and the intake manifold.

when u hit full boost the wastegate will open sooner when taken from the compressor housing

when u hit full boost the wastegate will open later allowing for more power when taken from the intake manifold.

Intake manifold seems to be the best spot to tap everything from...
