I was wandering how hard it would be for me to install it myself i dont know a lot about it so any information would be of a big help.
 
You have a nipple coming off your J-pipe on your turbo. That's your pressure source. Connect that to the inlet of your boost controller with a vacuum hose. The outlet of the MBC connects to the wastegate actuator with another vacuum hose. Try to keep the hoses as short as possible, but still leave enough slack so you can mount/attach the boost controller in a convenient location. Most people just zip-tie them to the radiator fan shrouds or similar place, but if you do that, make sure nothing is in the path of the fan blades. You don't want your vacuum hose getting caught in a fan.

Here's a handy Paint diagram of how to hook up a High-performance TurboXS MBC, for example.
