I am trying to hook it back up now. I have the boosted line going to the port closest to the driver's side fender. The other port is used for?? It doesn't go to the vacuum block, does it??
Its hard to tell from the pictures:

I had a air regluator hooked up, bleeding off boost. Works great up to about 15# of boost then the slightest little turn of the nob and she is up over 20#. So, I just want to go back to running the stock solenoid and using the adj. WG arm until I can purchase a nice boost controller.

TIA -Nick.
 
It goes to the vacuume block, this is the line that is capped off when using an 86/87 actuator

So, can I just leave that port open? Or does it need to be capped of??? You are talking about the WG solenoid on the valve cover right?? I am running a '87 heavy duty wastegate actuator.

ummm...no, the selenoid on the valvecover goes to the "Y" between the turbo and the actuator. That needs to be there, the other one goes to the vacuume block. I have an 86/87 actuator with the single vacuume port. I capped off the vacuum block port on the throttle body..

I got the one port style wastegate. The line comes off the turbo split that between the fuel regulator and the Y connector then from the Y it splits to the wastegate and the solenoid..........the other port on the solenoid goes?? to the vacuum block or just leave it open??

in the pictures its hard to see where that other port from the solenoid goes....I wouldn't think it would go to the vacuum block. I think it just stays open or nothing hooked up to it??
 
Is the way I have it correct :confused: I was going to go out and do a WOT run but I might as well wait and make sure she is hooked up correct. -Nick.
