Boost Gauge/Waste Gate
 
Where do I mount the boost gauge reading sensor. Before the throttle body or after somewhere in the manifold.
With the wastegate you all know the hose that comes out the side of the Gt wastegate. Where do I connect this? If some one could help me this would be great.
Also are the wastegates supposed to come with the adjustment bolt on the top?

The boost gauge should be reading pressure from the manifold. Use the same port that your pressure sensor uses. The hose on the side of the wastegate should go before the TB. You want a non-vacuum boost source. There's usually a nipple coming off of the turbo that will work well. The top port is for a boost controller.

Im still a little confused I have the stage one KKK kit. And do I put the wastegate hose before of after the FMIC.( the one that comes off the side.
Another stupid how to i exactly adjust the boost amout? with the screw on top? One problem though my wastegate just has a hole in it no screw. Ive seen them with screws there. If i need one which i think I do how long should it be about. or new springs? Or with my blowoff valve. also DO I set my BOV at a higer boost pressure or my wastegate.
Thanks for all the help.

Put it before the IC. You should be able to go to an HKS dealer and get the parts you need. They should be able to get you instructions in English.

I forgot that you have a GT boost controller. It looks like this, right?

Upon closer examantion the "claimed" Gt wastegate is only a standard 40mm HKS gate. Anyway the pic still applies you se that screw on top is that for boost adjustment mine just has a hole up there> SHould I put something in that?

Ok, the hole on the top is for a nipple just like on the side. It's not used for adjusting boost. You need a boost controller to do that. The top port is used with a boost controller.
