if you have a 2nd line coming from the intake mani its seeing the same pressure (slighty less 1-2psi) than the compressor cover....basically what you need to do...is take off the intake mani vaccum line...and run it to the atmosphere label on the MBC...and then to the top of wg

u have to plug into the top of the wastegate for a boost controller or else u will only be boosting off of the spring rate from the wastegate.

Yeah this last one looks most logical. Civic, No you dont use vacuum sources for boost control, you use boost sources.

Yeah you're just creating a leak for the boost to escape so that the diaphragm wont get boost signal = wastegate stays shut later. The type we mostly use is the one with the spring and ball where you tighten the spring so that it wont let air to the diaphragm until a certain boost level.

i have the same MBC and i don't have that little "T" box thing. i was wondering if i could use any regular "T" fitting. would it work the same or would i have to find that specific "T"?

you can use that t, but your gonna want to remove the ball and spring from the inside of it. It uses this to aid in spoolup, but causes bad boost spikes in my experience with that boost controller.
