question about my boost controller position

[91spooler]

I have a Turboxs dual stage boost controller and was wondering if it mattered how I position it? (upside down, sideways or backwards) and does the arrow on it HAVE TO point towards the wastegate? The previous owner had the arrow pointed away and it seemed to work fine. I wanna relocate it and make the hoses as short as possible but I'm having trouble finding a place to mount it the with arrow point towards the wastegate. Anybody have tips on where I can put it? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

Anywhere safe, mount it so it doesnt move a lot use zip ties, a custom mount mines near the turbo, and wastegate well it was engine is now apart.

Hmm a custom mount seems right. But can I put it upside down if I had to?

Yes as close to the turbo as possible it also helps prevent boost creeps.

Where did you hear that, the circus? AutoZone parts counter? The bum down the street?

Old thread but I wanted to comment to say, yes it does matter that the line the arrow is pointing towards goes to the wastegate!

It doesn't need to physically point towards the wastegate, the line just needs to go to the wastegate.

I should have been more descriptive in my post. Black-98-GST is correct. It is important that the correct side of the boost controller routes to the wastegate, however it doesn't actually have to physically be facing towards the wastegate.
