There's more than one way to control the wastegates and the way you want to set yours up will work. As for the top port on the wastegate you leave those vented in that setup. Hope that helps answer your question.

This does look like it'll work but, I'd say it's very crude for controlling boost here. MBC are fine for older turbo cars but, with an engine this sophisticated, you'll get a way more driveable and tuneable setup by going electronic.

I agree that MBCs work, but it's definitely not optimal. I'm running a hallman MBC on my car and turning up the boost is a guessing game. I should have just spent the money on an eboost.
As for some of the pictures you've seen that have vacuum lines hooked to the top port of the wastegates...alot of guys will connect a vacuum line to the top and then leave the other side of that line vented just to help keep crap out of the wastegates

Thanks guys. And yes I'm going to go electronic/digital...but with the TT kit and new clutch and pretty much new everything else I'm holding off for a few months. But I need to data-log so I need to crank it with confidence so that's why I'm asking. If anyone knows of a better way please let me know?

UPDATE: I've been up and running since contacting Turbosmart, I thought I would post on the conclusion incase in the future someone is stumped on the vacuum/boost connections using "in-cabin" MBC.
The picture above is correct EXCEPT for the line going between the motor and the MBC is NOT suppose to be there!(So I put "X's" on that line/hose).
The upper left corner of the pic are 3 questions, the answer to those questions are as follows=
Answer to #1 = Yes leave open to port(they do not connect anywhere)
Answer to #2 = Yes, and Yes
Answer to #3 = Yes(because 1st pic is incorrect, no connection between MBC and motor)
