Ok I have seen different post on here with different ways to install the boost controller, so I just want to know if it is best to TEE into the vacuum hose from the bov or to run from the pressure side of the turbo, I am installing the turbo xs HP model in the instructions it says to run into the bov line for best results, just want you guys opinion. thanks
 
I prefer to connect the boost controller to the turbo compressor housing, since the turbo compressor is ultimately your boost "source". I suspect that you could experience greater boost spike with the boost controller connected to the BOV line since this is at a greater distance from your boost source and therefore would not be able to react as quickly to changes in boost pressure. Also, be sure to make your vacuum line connections as short as possible to minimize boost spike. Hope this helps.:thumb:
 
With the TurboXS High-Performance Boost Controller, use the compressor housing nipple/intercooler pipe nipple for your pressure source. The outlet should run straight to the wastegate actuator. This is a simple set-up that works for perfectly for me using the same MBC.
 
Yeah. go from your compressor to your MBC then to your actuator. should only be about 10 or 12 inches of hose needed.

You can tee it off into your bov line, but its best off the compressor of the turbo.

Hopes this helps, Stay boostin
