Hi people, thanks for looking at my question.
Ok... so i bought the type s bov. its installed and all and works fine but theres a last nipple. Its located below the other nipple which is already connect to a hose (that hose is connect to the nipple which is on the purple part of the bov).

so im not sure where to connect this nipple. here is the site that i used to install my bov.

it says to splice into the wastegate but im not sure where that hose is located.
some pictures would be nice.
thanks for the help
 
You really only need to connect the nipple that is going into the top of the purple part to a vacuum/boost source. You can just leave the other nipple unplugged.

While under boost, pressure will hold the BOV valve shut, then when vacuum hits, it will suck the diaphram up to let the BOV valve open. That's the basics of how it works.
 
MSpaint owns me.

if you don't have a manual boost controller, just eliminate it from the equation and loop the wastegate to a different pressure source (usually on the comp housing or intercooler pipes)

the red line (which is connected to a different pressure source) is something I've always done. some people don't, some people do. Other people leave it vented to the atmosphere, other people plug it up with a vac plug. (this is connected to the bottom angled nipple by the way)

Why I do? I've noticed that the BOV does not compressor surge when the bottom nipple is connected to a pressure source. however, the BOV becomes much quieter (who cares really).

On mine, the top one goes to the intake manifold and the bottom one is open. See pic below.
