first pic waste gate bolts to the bolt holes 2nd pic your wastegate actuator(rod) goes to the other one 3rd pic is your cam angle sensor you can down load the fsm on here and it will tell you how to set it properly. This pic should help with those.

There should be a single line off the turbo connected to the nipple on the wastegate actuator. Thats if you want the stock 7psi of boost.

the 3rd pic is the crank angle sensor it should only go in one way and if it doesn't your key way in your cam is gone

If you leave that CAS in that position, I promise you 4 cracked pistons. I would be extremely worried about an engine that came to me with that CAS clocked in the position that it's in.
