Where on the Intake Manifold do i get the air for the BOV and Wastegate? I have a air port on my turbo it's self but i will be using that for my boost gauge.

WG boost reference goes to the compressor housing on the turbo.

BOV & gauge should go to the intake mani... doesnt really matter where.

So the one of the ports on the back with a t-fitting for the bov and gauge will be fine?

Tee into the fpr line for the wastegate, and the bov should have its own port off the manifold. Like the cruise control nipple persay.

wastegate does not need and should not get vaccuum. he should use the compressor housing for the wg boost reference.

no offense but if you didn't buy that ebay crap you probably would have gotten a product with instructions from a copmpany with a website and telephone # you could use for tech support.

but since yours is just a knock-off of another company i've seen, ill assume you can follow their instructions http://www.turbosmartonline.com/inde...ownload&id=200

Thanks! i have it correctly installed. I have 2 ports on my wastegate and it said to use the top port on the wastegate for the boost controller. But that install there said i can run it into the side port and just still vent the top port. But i will leave it like it is for now and it should work.

Ok, finally i think i figured this out.

1.) Put the check valve in between the vac hose coming form the trubo hosing to the side wategate port.

2.) ran vac hose form top of check valve to the bottom port on the boost controller.

3.) ran a vac hose form the top port of the boost controller to the top port on the wastegate.

I think this is how it should be setup.

So the top port on the booster controller and waste gate should just vent into the air?

Just throw the boost controller away and use the WG to control your boost.

I can see this being a disaster already
