Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Diff. between auto and manual trans waste gate funtion?

[PWeber]

! have a 1996 manual trans and a friend had a 1996 auto trans. His wastegate actuator is fed from a hose that simply loops around from the pressure outlet of the turbo. My manual feeds up through the exhaust manifold, across the valve covers and into a "T" assembly that goes ultimately to the top of the fuel plate. Can anyone explain the functional differences here and why the manual trans model would not use this same simple sense format?

There is also another difference,the 215 hp manual trans has a stiffer spring in the actuator allowing higher boost. When the boost is sensed from after the intercooler it is also looking at the drop across the cooler.
