Default External Wastegate

I am buying a turbo kit for my 98 prelude. I am confused with how to install the external wastegate. I know how to bolt it in but but the vacume lines im confused with. I see the wastegate has two places to connect vacume lines. Where do you run these lines?

Any vacuum source after the throttlebody will work fine. Use the fuel pressure regulator line, brake booster line, or any intake manifold vacuum line. You could even hook the wastegate up to the compressor housing on the turbo if theres a fitting.

What do you mean? If your talking about the Deltagate style yes, it has 2 fittings on it. One is for vacuum, and one is for boost I beleive. You just leave the boost fitting alone, and use the fitting on the top for vacuum.
