Needs to be from the boost source towards the wastegate.
So you have it backwards in that photo.

No offence...but if you cant work out something as simple as that....you really should not be playing with it.
Your engine is at stake here.

There are a lot of factors involved with power production, boost doesn't equal safe power unless those other factors are taken into consideration, so if a boost tap defeats you maybe leaving it stock is the best way to go

Dont be too helpful team.
Really you cant go too far wrong putting the boost tap in. Just monitor what you are doing with a boost gauge. I remember back, probably ten years ago, having my reasonably standard VR4 free-boost after I installed the boost tap and was adjusting it. Obviously when it hitting 20+ psi it was too much and I turned adjusted it down. Realistically a quick pull in 2nd gear isnt going to harm your engine if you get off the gas when you see the boost peak too high.
If you describe what your mods are we can give you some insight into what boost you should be able to run. Stock or aftermarket fuel pump and injectors would be a good start.
