Default taping compressor housing for boost controller

ive already searched the forum and im looking for some info and opions to help me im not sure if i should run my boost controller through my intake manifold or the compressor housing from what ive learned already im fairly sure its best to drill and tapp my compressor housing for a spike free boost setup correct also what drill and tapp size should i use since i dont have a chart

i jus want to here what u guys think if running my lines through the housing will really create a more predictable spool thanks

okay thank i hate to make another thread about this but ive learned everything about boostim from h-t and simliar sources im only 18 but never looked into this till ima bout to boost

so i think i will tap the compressor housing and that line will go to the side of my wastegate but first it will have my analog boost controller is between my tial wg side


thenport and the top of the wg port will go to my vacuum manifold that sounds okay
