You use one of the "VAC" fittings and it goes on the lower port on the side. That hooks to your boost/VAC source. The other one is not used unless you have an EBC. The smaller washers go on the screws between the fittings.

The big ring washer goes inside the wastegate between the wastegate and the mating surface(manifold).

Don't use the gaskets. They are ---- and will blow out. It will seal without them.
