Default Noob Wastegate question

Ive got an IHI RBH5 VJ11 turbo and Im looking to run 10-11psi on my stock z6 when I ger it all set up in spring. Im planning to buy the Apexi AVC-R EBC because it looks like something that will be able to stay with me as I upgrade turbo set-ups. My question is how do I hook up the EBC to the internal gate on my turbo? Ive also got an external turbonetics deltagate but ive heard that when only raising boost by a few pounds its best to just use the internal gate to save myself the trouble of welding the stock gate shut. Thanks for the help on this.

Im planning on it, just need to know how to hook the boost controller up to the internal gate so I can run 10 psi? If that works correctly then I will sell the external gate.

Thanks for all the great responses to my question. I didn't ask what ------- turbo I should get. Figured it out from another board.

They told you your turbo was too small also? :P
You should just have to hook up a t between the wastegate and the turbo going to the EBC.

Thanks for actually answering the question man. And yea, most people think the turbo is too small. I bought the setup from my friend and Its quick enough to give me some fun for next summer. Im coming from a bolton z6 with a cx tranny=slow as ****. so going boost plus an si tranny will be a big jump.
