    can't help you there usually wastegates come with two ports incase you didn't know i'm probaly sure you do but the bottom is for spring pressure and the top if for boost controller why that has a third hole i don't know.

    What thread is that hole in the center of the cap? My vote is that it's a typical screw thread (not NPT), which would mean that a spring preloading bolt used to go in there (crank it in for a stiffer spring and more boost...they all used to come that way a few years ago, before they started selling wastegates at the dimestore). With that being said, I'd also say that the offset hole on the top is NPT thread for a barb fitting.
