Manual boost controller
This boost controller came with my car. Therefore I know nothing about it. my question is where do I connect it? And is it possible to run the vacuum hose all the way into my cab or would this be a bad idea?

that's a new lookin one. it needs to go between the little nipple off the compressor and the wastegate. You probaby WOULD want it quite far away from the turbo since it says max temp is 150 F. Though im' not sure how good that would be.

Does your dash boost gauge work?
Even if it does, is it accurate?
You must be able to tell what the actual value is when you force up the boost pressure.
My dash gauge is ~5 PSI at half scale & ~10 PSI at full scale.
The stock compressor has more boost potential than the stock fuel system can match.
I have personally verified this.
Will you be able to replace your engine when you detonate it? - (as I had to)

Thanks for the writeup
damn that looks pretty simple. well I've got an aftermarket boost gauge I just havent had a chance to check if it's hooked up yet.... so it would be a bad idea to run the vacuum lines to far from the wastegate?

I have the same MBC, it is actually made by the company that makes HKS MBC. I bought it used and have yet to use it myself, but the guy I bought it from said it worked great.
