Sounds ok to me, you'd know if it wasnt working (with a gauge).

Like he said:
CLuTZ said:This is the way I have always done mine. Install the bottom of the controller into the hose that goes back to the vac port on the intake manifold. The port which comes off at a right angle, goes to the actuator. Use zip ties or small hose clamps to FIRMLY secure the hoses to the ports on the controller.

Well, I finally got the boost gauge running and through the firewall (finally, duh). I'm running about -19 vacuum.
I've been going over this thread, and my engine seems really crammed compared with alot of the pictures. I can see where the waste gate actuator line starts, but not where it ends. What does the line connected to the wastegate actuator go to? I can't find the end at the moment as it's crammed underneath and I don't feel like pulling the skid plates off right now. It seems like it joines up with another vacuum line and runs around the firewall of the engine bay. Ideas?
Thanks,

Can someone please advise as to where the best place to splice in the boost controller is? I see the 2 hoses that are zip tied together that run under the battery terminal... which of these hoses should be cut in to?
I'm a noob, and I've gone over the threads, but I want to be 100% sure what I'm cutting before I do it. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry, but if you can't figure out how to do it after reading this thread, then give your car to a professional before you blow its motor up

Installed it, though I'm worried about one of the lines from the boost solenoid now no longer connected to anything. Hoping that doesn't harm it. Connected the MBC to the IC hard pipe & the waste gate actuator. Seems to be holding a steady 13 psi atm which I plan to push to 17.
Asking plenty of questions is exactly why I want to double check and triple check installation. I know you're an all-knowing expert, but please do not patronize me Clutz.

As for the boost control solenoid, don't worry about it mate. It will be fine sitting there doing nothing
I run the turbo tech controller on mine and it is holding 25psi stable on a 50 trim.

Im not patronising anyone- I just don't want your rods to put a hole in your intercooler and blame it on us.
You don't have to be an all-knowing expert to install a t-piece- this was the first ever mod I managed to do when I was a kid- and it was a piece of cake.

You had a 4G63 when you were a kid! Lucky bastard, I had to wait until I was in my twenties till I got one.
Jokes aside, this is exactly how I have mine setup, I have alot of excess tubing which I used to mount it somewhere other than under the bumper.
I get my boost feed from much closer to the throttle body, is there any advantage to having it that close to the turbo?
