Re: manual boost controller install?s
i dont know what the detroit setup looks like, but if its like mine [just got it] it should install easily. One hose goes to the compressor side of the turbo, and the other to the wastegate. check the flow through the valve [inlet-outlet] . One could install the hose on the plenum. That would alter the boost signal. Might do that myself.

I think the compressor port is where it gets the boost signal from. Don't know how you could do it without using some sort of boost source.

Sorry to bring a thread back from a long time ago but i do my searches before i start a thread...
Anyway this is my exact question how do you connect a manual boost controller? Do i get rid of the original wastegate. My truck is totally stock turbo, everything ***at least for now***

Another MBC install question here also. The hose that comes from the top of the turbo that goes down to the wastegate, I tried to cut the hose and put one side to the top barb of the MBC and the wastegate side to the bottom barb of the MBC and it will not control boost. The instructions show the MBC top barb goes to a vaccuum source and the bottom barb to the wastegate. Do I just plug the hose end coming from the top part of the turbo? This shouldn't be this confusing! If anyone has a diagram with the correct way to hook up an MBC I would appreciate it. I have a 20g and a blow-off valve. Thanks in advanced.
