    another question: does the wastegate need to be connected to a vacuum source? or can it be unplugged? I've seen some people leave it unplugged, so i assume that it will just run off of the stock 7psi?

    leave it unplugged and it'll boost until it hits 88mph then it will dissappear.

    you have to hook the vac up to the wastegate, people who leave it unplugged probably have an external wastegate

    what kind of manifold are you going to use, because almost all of the aftermarket turbo manifolds have external wastegate flanges, and if you're going to use the one built onto the turbo then you'll need a blockoff flange off of ebay, either way its cheap enough to get a knockoff 35mm wastegate which work fine on budget builds
