I know what the response from some of you will be:
Search, damnit!

But I have spent the last 3 hours searching both here and on hybrid and I can't find a post that will just tell me where to connect the boost controller. What lines do I connect it to?

Sorry, just using a term I picked up when I asked the same question a while ago.

It is the intake side of the turbo, before the j-pipe, there is a vacuum connection.

You know what the waste gate actuator is right? Well the hose connected to this and to a "y" fitting (mine had this not sure if it is stock) needs to be replaced with the boost controller inline.

stock hook up:
boost signal (turbine wheel/intake manifold/etc) => waste gate actuator

with manual boost controller:
boost signal (turbine wheel/intake manifold/etc) => boost controller => waste gate actuator

What kind/brand of boost controller do you have?

the boost controller goes between the wastegate actuator and boost source..... if you cut the hose going to the wastegate actuator and put those 2 hose ends on the controller it should work....

the turbo makes pressure...the pressure builds in the wastegate actuator until theres enough to over come the the actuator's spring.......then the actuator opens the wastegate......
...the b-controller fools the actuator by bleeding off pressure before it gets there .........s
