Large one is for your vacuum assist brakes and the small one is for you pcv valve...I would guess the vacuum on the wastegate goes to you vacuum/boost port (on the radix, it is on the back near the MAP sensor.

ive called several times they act like this unit never exisited. i know that they have came out with bigger and better but some of us cant afford $6000.00 on there new unit. it has been discontinued i understand that but not being able to help and support a product they have produced and sold is kinda ridiculous and not a very good business. iam in over my head on this now and i cant turn back. now ive heard several people on here not to waste time with its too small and so on. but i payed $1700.00 on ebay for it $400 for inj. $500 on nelson perf. tune ngk spark plugs and i still dont even know what size belt ill need. so what ever help anyone can offer would be great.
