Default External Wastegate Vaccum Connections

This is my first external wastegate, so bear with me. I searched and could not find anything about this.
I just need quick instructions. The SSAC, tial style, has two ports, one top, one side. Where do they go. I read somewhere that you leave one open, and then heard you need to connect both.
Which one is it.
Thanks

the one on the side gets connected to a vac source, the one on the top is not used unless you plan on running a manual boost controller, you're all set

Yeah just leave the top and hook up the side. Also with the ssac wg I'd go through the bolts and make sure they're tight.

the side is for a manual boost controller, or if u are not running a manual boost controller just hook that line to a vac source. with either of the above just leave the top port open. the top port is for an alectronic boost controller.

good. That top bolt is rubbing with my hood, it closes fine without it. I'm still going to cut a little of the hood reinforcement inside the hood, to clear from movement of the engine.

thanks for the info
