Default Question On Wategate, Blow off Valve, and Boost Controller

I been done with my Custom Turbo Kit on my 05 GTO. Trying to find out where I need to run the hose to.

Wategate has 2 fitting 1 on top and 1 on bottom:

Fitting on the Top (Where do I run the hose to???)
Fitting on the Bottom (Where do I run the hose to???)

Blow Off Valve:

Fitting on the Top (Where do I run the hose to???)

Boost Controller: I have a Greddy Boost Controller (What hose do I run to the boost controller


Thanks for the help

Richard

ive got a precision external wastegate..and the directions say as follows per setup...

if you wanna run just wastegate spring pressure..run the bottom fitting to a vacuum source..leave the top open to atmosphere

if you wanna run a boost controller..put both top and bottom vacuum fittings on wastegate.."t" off a vacuum source one side of vacum to the bottom fitting on the wastegate, the other side of the "t" fitting vacuum runs to the boost controller..the other end of the boost controller runs to the top of the wastegate vacuum fitting.(sorry if that ounds confusing)

your blowoff valve will run off of engine vacuum as well.

Sounds like jaYZeig is about right. I'm also running a pte 46mm and if i'm not mistaken it says to vent the top one if your using the gate spring to control the pressure.
