i've searched current and recent,
i've checked every website i can think of.. and i cant figure out one small thing:
how to install my MBC !!!
on my old car i just put the MBC in the vacuum line between the compressor side of the turbo and the wastegate.
but NOW i have a Turbosmart wastegate with TWO nipples, and the nipple on the bottom of the turbo is in a bad spot. if i connect the WG and turbo, the vacuum line will run too close the the exhaust mani.
so is there another way to run it? my Tial only had one vacuum nipple i don't know what the two on my Turbosmart are for.
if anyone can tell me, or direct me to a site with instructions, that would be helpful. thanks!!

its easy..
run a line from the gate(lower hole or bottom hole) to the turbo..
put a vac T in that line in the easiest to get to spot..
run an hose from that T to the "in" or -> on the MBC..
then run a line from the out side of the MBC to the top of the gate..
DONE.
