Default Question on wastegate I bought??

Looking to find out weather it is a dual port or single port. It has a barbed hose type fitting coming out of the very top of the wastegate. But it also has two ports in the middle of the wastegate that have plugs in them right now and are under the diaphragm. Since there is a port on top of the diaphragm and one under does that mean it is dual port? It is what looks to be a knock off of the hks 60mm gtII wastegate. I was just wondering because I'm trying to figure out how I should setup a boost controller

It looks like it should be a dual port.

Remove the plugs and test it's operation. Simplez

any relatively low pressure air source.

Be it a foot pump, Mity vac, or shop[ air ( but not 100psi or something crazy )

I wouldnt use co2 unless you have it regulated down to a low pressure
