Why do you make two different posts with the same question?

Hook it up to some type of vacuum sorce from the intake manifold.

gees you guys a ------- hrash :P

you should hook it up to the intake manifold.
if you are using an external WG, you need to leave the top hole open, connect only the one on the side to the intake manifold
