i didnt search this time, it just crossed my mind and i figured i'd ask. i searched a while back when i bought a manual boost controller and got some semi-helpful info. and never got it installed. plus i dont have a boost guage yet and need that in first... looking at one right now!

yes factory service manual............take a look at the link above and then check out your system and work something out or wait until someone else posts more info..............I've only done electric boost controllers so I'm not too familiar with the manual ones.
