I've just plumbed up an external wastegate on a members car after doing some repairs but after loosing my pipework diagram for my external wastegate and forgetting it myself just want to check with anyone who has one fitted, does this vacum pipework cofiguration look right?

That looks right but from reading my aem solenoid destrutions the bleed valve will now work the opposite way round to normal.

so fully closed = max boost

fully open or pipe blocked will give wastegate spring boost.

The vac pipe is suppose to go to the bottom of the wastegate. Thats how i did mine, thought the top outlet was to put more pressure on the wastegate.
