did u do a search for it??
Dude it's real easy, I'll tell ya how to do it instead of telling you to search.
There's a hose that connects your intake to a large hose right in front. It runs straight away from you as you stand in front of your car with the hood open. it also has a round thing on the top of it with ANOTHER hose coming off with a 90 degree bend in it.
Here it is:

That hose then goes to a "T". Pull off the botom of the "T" cause that line needs to have the boost controller in it. The controller has 2 ends in and out. Out goes to the wastegate or "down" into the engine bay. The other just plain go the other way. Next is to adjust it to your desired boost level.
Also Joe says the directions that come with the controller are better or more detailed. Look here:

If this does not help, get someone else to do it for you.

good job II-savy. 
The only thing i might add, is to increase boost, you tighten the screw. Do it about a half turn at a time, and doa 3rd gear pull. WATCH YOUR BOOST GAUGE carefully, when you are first tuning it in to make sure its not set to high.
Or you could just blow through the hose to and tighten it down until you can barely blow through. That should be about 8psi. A good place to start... or keep, depending on what the temp is outside.

let us know how it goes....tell us your experience
Guys, not everyone goes cheap with the stuff they put in their car. Just because it's cheaper doesn't mean it's good. I paid around $130 for my Blitz gauge. I *REFUSE* to even let an Autometer product get near my car.
I'd MUCH rather SPEND a bit of cash on my 20k car than go cheap.
Invest more money in anything you buy and you'll be glad you did later on. You only live once and you only have one chance to be truly happy. Enjoy it while you can.

Auto meter is one of the top brands of gauges. They are mechanical gauges that are perfect for this application. I did not go cheap. It's a God Dam vacuum gauge, you blow in a tube and it measures pressure.....thats all you need.
I love how other people call what you have crap. I don't have any crap in my car. I can buy 3 of these "crappy" gauges for one 199 dollar deal, give a break. Had I been driving a Ferrari things would be different. My gauge works flawlessly. Metal, accurate, comes in a variety of styles. buy what ever you want... but there is no need to be like that about what someone else has.
