Default Manual boost controller

Just curious the instructions that came with my boost controller says to run a line from the waste gate to the boost controller and from the boost controller to the intake manifold.... does this sound accurate... I thought the vacuum line going from the wastegate would go to the turbo but my turbo (t3/t4) dont got a nipple for vacuum

Yes. you can do that from the better vacuum source. The instructions don't account for a line to the turbo compressor housing. The Intake manifold is a better source, but it is up to you.

im confused Because the turbo does not have a place for a vacuum line .....the boost controller has 2 ports one line will go to the waster gate and the other to the intake manifold.... i installed a boost gauge already and ill be installling the boost controller this week

Just use the intake manifold and top port of the wastegate. ignore the turbocharger boost source.

yes, most manufactors say you can T off the FPR but I always recommend trying to find a different source of vac. if you can. Any place is fine but use brake booster and fpr as a last resort...
