I am getting ready to install this boost controller and it did not come with instruction. I already know which lines on the ECU to tap into from another thread on here, but what i need help with is where to tap the hoses into. I know there are 3, 2 from the solinoid and 1 from the other thing. Does anyone know where i t-off these hoses into? THanks

Yeah this is the boost controller. Anyone know where to tap the hoses to?
 
This boost controller has a solinoid that has 2 outlets for 2 hoses. Then there is another piece that another hose comes out of. So wastegate i know for sure and compressor surge is the other. I will take a look at it again. Thanks miss_steele_msp!
 
Im starting to splice into my ECU now. I have one concern. For my RPM wire, i already have my SS AFC spliced into it. Is it ok to have another splice? If so, should it be before the AFC?
 
compressor surge isn't something tangable. you can't touch it or phsyically remove it from the car. the fluttering aka "the turkey" is the sound created from compressor surge. it's simply a result of air in the pipes. no one is going to be able to point it out to you...

i'm editing this as well...no offense but i don't think you should be doing this yourself if you are asking where the compressor surge is. don't take it personally either. just sayin that you don't seem to know that much about your turbo system as a whole

a manual boost controller goes inline with the waste gate solinoid. an in and an out. i took mine out.. not a good idea without fuel management...
 
pb4ugoout,

No offense taken. I've actually installed everything i have on my car on my own and i've no problems. This is my first turbo car and EBC install, i do as much research as i can. I was a little confused on how to install my EBC but i figured it out. Im learning everything as i go, and at times it may seem like i dont know what the hell i am doing or even talking about. Now, i do know quit a bit about turbo'd cars but i am still a rookie. Here is a list of my mods that i've installed myself:

MentalAddiction FMIC kit (intake, spal fans, Boostscience BPV) and Turbo manifold
HKS SSQV
Boostscience vacuum manifold
Corksport s-pipe
vibrant s-pipe back exhaust
DSM Convert AFC
1sty ground kit
Kartboy short shifter and bushings
Weapon-r engine damping system, coolant tank, intake filter
Defi D-guage boost guage
Innovate wideband
Apexi AVCR
Blitz turbo timer
DGM lip and carbon fiber grill
Goldline springs
Batmans side marker overlays

I've alot of help from members on this board which i appreciate to the fullest. Thank you for your help and insight.
