waist gate question

can some one explain the waist gate to me? I understand what it does, but I'm not sure what position is open and which is closed. When the car is off, it is to the far left, when its idle its to the far right. Which position recalculates the air into the SC, and which position is when it allows the air into the motor?

also, which vacuum tube is supposed to connect to it? if you could include a picture id appreciate it.

Thanks
 
A supercharged car doesn't have wastegate's only turbo cars do. What you are talking about is the bypass valve. When the cars is idling the bypass valve is fully open which makes the air go straight from the inletplenum into the return plenum. When you get around 0 vacuum the bypass valve closes and all the air is transfered through the blower.
