No, the wastegate's in the turbo, not the manifold... 
It's the control flap for the twin-scroll system. One of the turbo's scrolls is blocked off at low revs to make the turbo spool faster. It should have an actuator connected to it, with a vac line on the actuator heading up to the solenoid rack.

Just curious, but where from the selenoid does the vac tube goto? the intake im assuming?
What rpm does the selenoid activate?
Without the selenoid, and if you routed the twin scroll actuator just to the intake, how early would it activate compared to use with the selenoid?

And it's solenoid, not selenoid.

If you want more top end flow and dont car to loos just a little low end, take out the actuator and arm,cap the nipple for the vacuum line, and remove the flapper from the manifold to turbo side. now you will have a hole where the arm for the actuator passes through the manifold. You tap it with a 1/4 tap and put in a 1/4 plug with some locktite to make sure it never comes loose. That will allow you better flow but you will loose the function of the actuator. Its a small trade off for me I was willing to go for.

It doesn't quite work like that. The solenoid allows manifold vac to suck the flap closed to low rpm, and then allows it to escape at higher rpm. If you connected the actuator straight to the manifold the flap would open as soon as you opened the throttle and then close as soon as you lifted off. The turbo would not be spooled any quicker than if the system wasn't there.
