Default Turbo Vacum

I need help with setting up the vacum to my set up, I have no idea how to do it. i have tried and only managed to get the wastegate to open early and failed to have the bov open at all and my gauge is not working. Can anyone fill out the drawing for me..... I have no idea what i am doing and its confusing. .....

Your image was too small so i made a bigger one

The text on my picture is WRONG, must still be tired, you want the BOTTOM port on your gate run to the intake manifold, also top port on your BOV (should only have one) and again boost line to the intake.

This will set you up to run off spring pressure @ manifold, if you run back to the compressor you will not see full boost (You might see 7.5-8psi on a 9psi spring) which is why I like the manifold

If its before the throttle body when the blade closes massive pressure is applied to the top. It will open easier if you connect it beind and on boost it will react the same.

I have connected mine both ways and it does work if you connect it in front of the blade, it just seems to take a lot more to open it.

That isn't right if you don't have a boost controller, you will also get pressure drop across the intercooler and other stuff and not see your full spring pressure if your not using one.

Also if your throttle blade closes with FPR connected in front of your throttle blade it will spike the rail pressure for a moment depending on the BOV

I just want my tial wastegate and bov along with boost gauge to work, this is what I have

type S bov - 2 fittings top and bottom

Wastegate - 2 fitting top and bottom

turbo - 1 fitting pressure

boost gauge - 1 fitting

I need a diagram that shows me how to set up the vacum with all these things, I dont have a boost controller yet, im going to control my boost with the wastegate but as of now, my bov is not working, im getting tired of this...as well as tiring you guys with something i thought was simple, but after a while this its all chinese.
