Side port is for vacuum source. It opens the valve for venting exhaust.

Yes, you need to connect an exhaust pipe to the exit of the wastegate. Your pinky is where you mount it on your manifold.


You need to look at some diagrams and learn how a wastegate works. The instructions should tell you also.
