Manual boost controller installation question.
I just purchased a turbosmart boost controller.
I have a 44mm Tial WG.
Here is my dilema
Tial has this for boost controller setup http://www.tialmedia.com/docum...l.pdf
using both the side and top ports on the wastegate.
Now the instruction in the box that came with the turbosmart shows this
http://www.turbosmart.com.au/index.php?s=downloads
Just putting the boost controller in between the WG and the pressure source, which one of these is correct?

manual boost controllers go inline with the pressure source for the wastegate. The top port on the wastegate is only used for electronic boost controllers

edit: I looked at the link and maybe tial will come in here and explain why they say to hook it up like that, but it works fine the other way.

Go with the diagram that comes with the boost controller. The only MBC I have seen connect to the top port is the Turbonetics.
