Manual boost controller

I was just wondering where you guys have installed your manual boost controllers? I'm not positive what line to tap into for it? Any help what be greatly appreciated. Also, where the heck is the fuel filter? I can't find it for the life of me. I know i sound stupid but please help me out a little. Thanx in advance.

Boost controller gets tapped in on the wastegate actuator line. Basically if you are looking at the turbo, this is large vacuum line that goes from the turbo itself to an acuator (round thing with a rod going towards the back of the turbo) The whole line that you tap into isn't more than a few inches long.

The fuel filter is located on the firewall on the drivers side. Basically look at your brake master cylinder then look down... towards the bottom of the firewall. You should see the filter mounted there on it.

Good luck

Thanx Brian
Do i need to take off the heat shielding or is it right there, the actuator that is? Like, if i'm standing on the passenger side, looking at the enigine, is it on the left close to the firewall or on the right closer to the radiator?

You are actually best off getting to it from the bottom. Remove the belly pan. Also I think I was wrong about the length of the hose. I think it's probably more like 1 foot long. (It's been 2 years since I installed my boost controller)
