Default need help with vacuum hoses for wg and bov!

Well I'm super close to getting my single turbo lt1 impala running. However, I'm not really clear on where the 6mm hose coming off the back of the wg goes before the throttle bodie.
Does it go to the bov? Or do I have to find a way to get it plumbed into the intercooler tubing?
Also, if the 6mm vacuum hose doesn't go to the bov, where does it go?
And finally do I need to run a vacuum hose somewhere from the bov? I have a billet bosch style bov.

All the major stuff is already done to the car. These vacuum hoses are just a few of some last small things that need to be addressed before I start the car.

Thanx in advance!

bov reference is after throttle blade and wastegate is before. you want immediate vacuum to open bov and any excess pressure to open wg. this is assuming bov port is on the topside of the diaphram and wg port is on the bottom of diaphram(some have both)

Oh ok, I understand now.
Yeah, my bov does have the port on the top and my wg does have a port on the bottom.
I have checked out a lot of turbo builds but never seen the routing of these hoses.
Goodlook on the info! Definitely appreciate it!
