Connect the fitting on the hot pipe to the wastegate actuator.  And connect the bov to one of the upper fittings on the throttle body.

im pretty sure it goes to tye top right nipple on the throttle body, 99.9% sure

All you have to do is hook it up anywhere between the turbo and the intake and throw a vacuum line on the blow off valve and thats it.

nope.  top left on an S13 SR.  the bigger of the two.  the smaller of the two tees off to the FPR and the boost gauge.  that's the one on the right.  left goes to the BOV.  and yes, the actuator gets signal from the IC piping (hot side or cold side, doesn't REALLY matter).

TOP LEFT!!!!......you can't use just any vaccum line...the other nes never see enough + and - pressure to make the BOV work right....

ok ill sum up everything everyones said for you since that .1% got me last time.

there are two vacuum nipples on the throttle body above the inlet. the one on the right, wich is larger should go to your bov. the smaller one on the left should got to your feul presure regulator, if you are running a boost guage you should tee the line in there.

the nipple on the bottom i have plugged. thats it! just look at it and youll figure it out.
