You could probably just use an NPT right angle fitting....

that's all I have in mine. Get ahold of the place you got the turbo from and see what they say will fit there.

manifold reffers to the intake manifold it should be after the throttle body.

I am sure your EBC tells you otherwise...

Yup...if you wanna send some cash my way

I'll put it straight into suspension and wheels. My turbo was dying so I upgraded, but can't afford wheels or suspension just yet. I think I'm gonna buy wheels soon and get tires for X-mas.

Nope....

The TiAL install diagram clearly shows before the TB.

The stock system comes right off of the compressor.

In fact, I have never seen a wastegate operated from after the TB.

I have seen alot of MBCs on...

DSMS, in which the feed is T'ed into the line going to the BPV, which is on the intake manifold.

It probably doesn't really matter...

but when the manufacturer (TiAL) includes a diagram saying to tap in before the TB, and the OEM setup taps in before the TB, it's usally a good idea to do it.

I would think that by putting it before the TB, that when the TB closes, if there is a boost spike, it will keep the WG open to help prevent turbo damage, whereas if it has vacuum applied to it, it could make the boost spike worse.

I like to tap right off the turbo for a couple reasons, first is because it's the shortest route available, and second because you don't have to worry about pressure losses from the IC or TB.
