So I'm quite new to DSM's. I bought mine a long time ago, had the engine repaired and now it's up and running.

I did have a boost controller connected before I took the engine out, now it's all back in... I'm not actually sure what the boost controller hoses should be connected to.

I know one is on the wastegate... can anyone give me some advice.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge.
 
inlet comes from a boost source, such as compressor housing nipple or nipple on i/c pipe, or t into you bov line. the outlet to the wastegate
 
I'm going to throw this out there.

Alot of people say you shouldn't tee into the BOV line. The BOV and wastegate should have their own separate lines.

It's not recommended but it works. It will slow the reaction time of your BOV and your wastegate will see vaccum which can damage the diaphragm. Your wastegate operates on boost only, that's why you should use the comp housing nipple or install a i/c pipe nipple.
