    Ifyou have 2 nipples on your wastegate make sure you use the top for the boost controller the bottom you use only if you and running off the WG spring which, I'm going to go out on a limb and say its a 7-8lb spring.

    8lb spring It wont build boost past what the wg is set @. The turbo XS people told me to hook the boost controler to the bottom, I thought the top 1 was for the electric boost cont?

    Electronic or manual they both do the same thing, and the top nipple is for that. If you hook the bootm up you are only going to run off the wg spring.
