Anyone have good instructions for a boost controller installation?

check http://www.vfaq.org
The ball end goes towards your boost source, the spring end goes towards your wastegate actuator.

Assuming you are using a standard ball/spring manual boost controller, the bottom hose goes to the nipple on your turbo/turbo outlet and the side hose goes to your wastegate. Make the lines as short as possible to help eliminate boost-spike and speed up response time. Remember to zip-tie all connections!

Yeah short and simple.
I actually maxed my current boost controller out. It wont go in any further. but i have the forge UNOS one. i have to find the other spring for it, it comes with two of them, one for low boost (under 25psi) and one for high boost. :)

Yup, except when using my buddies turboXS one. I hooked it up backwards because I was used to all MBC's hooking up with the boost source on the bottom nipple, and the WG going to the one pointing sideways. But Austin's TurboXS one was completely backwards.

Zip ties. That would be smart. I'm waiting for mine to fall into my fan at some point...

It depends what you have. If it is a TurboXS Dual stage I can help you out with detailed instructions.

The turboXS high performance, with a ball and spring and a bleader all in one is what we have had the most luck with as far as MBC's goes. Just fallow the directions with the MBC and you should be fine.

The reason I like the FORGE over the TurboXS, is because the TurboXS you need to use an allan to adjust. The forge you just turn the cap. And it also clicks when you turn it. So if you decided to bump the boost up to have fun, you can remember you turned it 8 clicks, and then just turn it 8 clicks back when you're done, and you're exactly back where you used to be.
Plus you can get it in the ever so inconspicuous BLACK color, so you don't have a bright blue turboxs controller looking all goofy.
