Most you on here have the single port wg actuator. Hot air setup has dual port. So based on my image do I have this thing hooked up correct?

Used search and couldn't find anything.

That looks right. You want the brass controller to limiit the pressure signal to the wastegate. As long as that's the line that sees boost, you should be good.

That's assuming a hotair wastegate pushes out like an IC engine to dump exhaust pressure.
 
The HA TB sees vacuum only. Need to move it to the brass 90 below the TB.

Hose at the sticker on the WG goes to the tb.
 
As jerryl, move it to the other line

Was able to email Jason from RJC before the comments come in and said this is the way to be hooked up. The whole dual port WG throws me off and how it operates. Yes, he did say leave it un hooked.

I dont think there needs to be any offense taken as I am just trying to understand where to hook the damn thing up at. If I understood the wastegate dual ports and what each side did i could discipher what to do with the lines. If I may ask because I am not getting something from mixed communication how this thing hooks up

So I know there is a line that goes from left side actuator to the vacuum block on the TB, ok done...good.

I am going to assume at this point the large barbed end (restricted side) goes to the fitting on the compressor, then the "adjustable end" of the boost control goes to the right side port of the WG?
 
Toby, please accept my apologies. Regardless of my day, the reply came across a bit harsh and frankly, am embarrassed by it. :(

Moving on;
The nipple farthest from the rod is the pressure/boost side.
With the current routing, there no pressure to push the WG open, other that exh. pressure.
The controller should be between the nipple and the "Y".

I will post a pic in a second of the correct routing.
