Not really sure what you are asking.

To install it, at most you'll need some zip ties, a t fitting, and vacuum line.

Oh, and you should get a boost gauge to measure the amount of boost you are running, don't watch the ones that come with our cars.

Before you get the MBC, you should get an actual boost gauge. The one on the dash is just for looks - it converts the signal from the MAF to give a "boost" reading.

You should also invest in some sort of fuel upgrades, i.e. a pump, injectors, etc. and a logger to be able to make use of the new boost without knocking.

Basically there are some things to cover to before you go upping the boost safely.

well you can run 15-16psi safely on fuel system but yes a boost guage and just need a t fitting and really.

if you run a mbc before you have a boost gauge, your asking for trouble.
why does everyone want this cheap unreliable horsepower?

^^That's ok. Let him blow a turbo or burn some valves. Then we will have another part out in the Marketplace .
