you can just put the wastegate straight to any of the nipples on the manifold and then put whatever you took off the nipple t'd in to one of the other sources, there's a million different ways to hook your vacuum lines up.

could i have the FPR,BOV,Boost Gauge, inline with the cruise control vacume line? I only have 2 vacume sources available in my b16 that I'm aware of. Unless I jbweld a barb to the end of the charge pipe before the throttle body.

personally i like the wastegate line connecting to the charge pipe instead. i think it's easier on the turbo - here's why. whenver you release the throttle the manifold goes to vacuum and the charge pipe pressurizes. if you have the wastegate line connected to the manifold, the wastegate will close whenever you let off so all the exhaust energy will go into a turbo which is trying to spin against a closed tb. if you have it connected to the charge pipe, the wastegate will stay open whenever you let off, diverting the exhuast energy away from the turbo.
