The side is where you hook up the vac source, the to is the vent. You can also install a fitting to the top to hook up a MBC.

you dont have to hook anything to the top...just leave it open. hook a vacuum/boost source to the side fitting.

It the vent for letting out the pressure when the WG opens. If you restrict it/block it it'll cause the wastegate to not open or open late.
