What kind is it? What does it look like? Can you take it apart? Can you take pictures?

it is just a basic manual controller it looks similar to the hallman. yes it comes apart. between the adjustment knob and on of the outlets is a spring with a ball bearing at each end

Okay... These are just educated guesses:

The fitting that has a ball bearing pressed up against it when the unit is assembled is most likely the inlet.

The outlet is most likely the fitting that's perpendicular to the spring.

You would probably want to start by backing the adjustment knob out almost all the way, so that you can easily blow through the controller by blowing on the inlet. If there's a locknut be sure to use it.

Then you'd connect the inlet to the nipple on the turbo's compressor housing, and the outlet to the nipple on the wastegate actuator.
