Just wondering if I mounted it on the Hot side if I'd be able to hook up the vacuum line to the same line the wastegate is hooked up to, which is the compressor discharge line. Let me know. Thanks

you can, but the psi @ the compressor housing is different than in the engine - I think it's a lil higher, something to keep in mind.

NO...the BOV needs a signal from the intake manifold.

If you have it hooked to the compressor housing, it will never open. The pressure will be the same on top of the diaphram and below the valve...

"T" off the FPR line.
