vacuum lines need help
can not figure out how to route the vacuum lines to the wastegate actuator or what ever its called, i dont know what side needs vacuum and what does the other side take, boost maybe? does anyone have pictures or can tell me what they have done.
i am finishing up my L swap its an 01 with an 03 L engine

sorry let me add a little more info about my swap, its an 03 L engine thats in my 01 4x4, i used the stock 4.6 engine harness so neither set of vacuum lines will plug right in.
i did find that one line plugs into the wastegate and goes to the rubber part (stock lightning intake) of the intake tube before the throttle plate.
what does the other port need? any insight please!!!!

there are some similar pictures here i cant get a good one of my truck so i hope this helps
one more thing do i even need to hook this up or what, something i just read said that when boost is made after the throttle body like, the roots style, its not that hard on the engine if boost is not dumped after WOT

i posted a link to a similar dump valve above, incase it was overlooked
what i did is put an 03 L engine (straight out of a lightning truck) into an 01 4x4 that previously had a 4.6 in it. i am using the stock 4.6 harness and ECM. so all the sensors and stuff on the drivers side of the blower are not getting used so i will have to do something different than the lightning as far as vacuum to the dump valve. hope this is more clear, thanks for trying to help
also correct me if i am wrong but from what i could get in my brief skim on built54's swap, he is running straight boost and straight vacuum to the dump valve. if this is what needs to be done i can do this very easily
