No Tee.

Yes to I/C piping fitting.
That (compressor out) goes to MAC port 3.
Port 2 goes to Wastegate.
Port 1 is open to atmosphere (vents).

You’ve got a turbo now, stop calling them vacuum ports you just need a source that shows boost pressure, the one you said you have on your intercooler piping will work.

dnmakinson is giving you internal wastegate plumbing. Follow these instructions for your external gate: https://www.diyautotune.com/product/...-solenoid-kit/

I have TiAL EWG on my remote mount setup and have it configured as per documentation for dual port EWG, seems to be working a-ok. Had to tap my compressor housing for the fitting that runs to a tee (sounds like you can use intercooler pipe fitting), which then goes to Port 1 and the bottom of the EWG. Top of EWG goes to Port 2. Port 3 is open.
