Alright so me and my buddy are trying to wire up my boost control. An arrow points to one side saying adjustable flow. Here it is :

Now what line do i put the boost control on ? Which way should the adjustable flow arrow point (To what part), and how much boost should i be running, I think 10psi would be alright ? Can someone just explain to me how this thing gets wired in. We where trying it off some wastegate hose, but im pretty sure it wasnt working properly. thanks for the help.

For the record, i tried searching, and nothing gave me a definate answer, and i dont want to blow up my car :shock:

I think the question you are asking is how to plumb this into your turbocharger wastegate system.

The answer is, you need to put the tubing from your controller at the butt end of the directional arrow on to the nipple on the turbo's compessor outlet, and the other tube on your controller goes to the wastegate actuator.
The arrow should now be flowing in the direction of compressor to wastegate.

I hope this helps, also without an intercooler and a boost gauge, I wouldnt play too much with the boost. 10psi would be max, but thats only about psi more than you have now.

The arrow points towards the wastegate. It points in the direction of flow. It would be plumbed like in the picture, but you can make the connecting hoses longer if you like. It would make it better for mounting.
