just plumb it inline of the wastegate signal.
Coming off the turbo, to the wastegate actuator canister is a vacuum line.
splice the boost controller into that line

so there is a stock external wastegate or is it internal?

hmm โฆ and the dial is hooked up how?
Is this one of the ones with a long ass vacuum line?
You really want the vacuum lines to be as short as possible.
But, odds are they probably took that into consideration when designing it.
on the turbo on the right of this pic you can see the actuator can (rust coloured cylinder) and the vacuum nipple at the top of it.
that line goes to the nipple up and to the right of it on the actual turbo.
Just make sure the MBC is pointing the right way ๐

yeah the line will probably be betwee 2 and 3 feet from the turbo to where i mount it in the car. this is just temporary until i get my AEM EMS this summer, from spring to july i want to be boosting tho hehe.
thanks for all the help guys ๐
