Ok...i have a cheap EBay wastegate and im gunna bolt it up and try it while im running my car on the dyno and playing around at home while i save for a tial 'gate. It 'apparently' has a 12psi spring in it. It has 2 fittings on the top, and one on the side. How should i plumb it up in regards to the boost line?

Have you got one of those MONSTA gates? I got one of those and was like "WTF?" when I saw 2 holes in the top. Ones a standard size and the other is much smaller for some reason.
