boost controller / gauge install

[jenglish1984]

I know that I need to hook the controller upto the vacuum line and another line, im just not sure of the other line.

As with the gauge, where does that tie into?

Id be glad to help you out, but a little more info is needed.

Manual Boost controller/electronic?

Type of Boost gauge?

You typically run the boost gauge from the vacuum line that goes to the fpr. As to the the boost controller, I always set the mbc, on line to the wastegate, and the other line to a source that sees boost such as the compressor housing or J-pipe.

Thanks for the replies.

The controller is manual and the gauge is a autometer phantom II.

So let me get this right...

The gauge needs to be tied in with the hose from the actuator and the BOV.

The boost controller is just with the vacuum hose?

boost controller:
vacum source > boost controller > wastegate

Boost gauge:
any good vacum source

simple as that
