i believe you are referring to the vaccuum ports, thats where you screw in the fittings for the vaccuum hose. The top one is used for boost controllers, but the bottom one is usually the one you need. You should see if you can either move things around to get to it or rig up some fittings and make it work.

not sure wut u are talking bout but
bottom flange goes to manifold
side flange goes to dumptube

side hole (nipple)goes to vacuum
top hole (nipple)goes to boost controller (if applicable)

according to http://www.tialsport.com/documents/w3_tial_38_dim.pdf

Yea don't just hook up straight vaccum to the the top cuz then you'll boost you engine to high heaven.(Seen it happen and it ain't pretty) Top is for Bosst controllers and bottom is for vaccum from a charge pipe
