1 - compressor side of turbo
2 - wastegate
3 - intake

That's how I have mine setup. Not in that order since the ports are named 1-2-3

The one that goes to the intake is just a vent. No reason to connect a line or do anything with it, it just needs to be open so it can bleed off your excess boost pressure.

While this diagram is made for a slightly different setup, it should answer your question!

4. Hook up vacuum lines to the GrimmSpeed BCS. You will be removing the 2 factory vacuum
tees. See Figure 2. Port 3 connects to a high pressure boost source (there is a vacuum nipple
on the turbo compressor outlet). Port 2 connects to the internal wastegate actuator vacuum
nipple and Port 1 should be routed back to the intake (where the factory BCS mounts). It is
recommended that a plastic zip tie is used to secure vacuum lines. The electrical is plug and
play with the supplied connector. Tuning: WGDC controls the actuator / turbo. Tuning to the
WGDC is required (approx 30% reduction in WGDC)
