Brake booster vac source for wastegate?
 
Would it be safe to use the brake booster vacuum line for the wastegate? Will there be any spiking? Would it be different if you had a boost controller?

Yes you can T into your brake booster line for the WG. Youll probably see a few PSI more then if the signal went to the compressor.

Don't some booster lines have a one way valve in them?

most do. Get your signal from the engine side of the hose, not the booster side.

you can also tap into the pcv valve, add a T.

I use my fitting on the compressor housing of my turbo. But if I didn't have one, then I just might use the brake booster.

What the ---- is up with your poll? It makes no sense.
