1998 GSX, 1G Head, 1G Intake Manifold, 2G Exhaust Manifold, TIAL 40mm Wastegate, GReddy Type S BOV, Greddy FMIC & Piping, No name Manual Boost Controller.
:headache:
I think thats everything important. I need to know where the vacuum lines go from the BOV, Wastegate, and Bost Controller. I will post pics in a minute. There are 2 vacuum lines from each. I will explain more with the pics.

The boost controller goes to one of the ones on the wastegate.

The MBC goes to the lower WG fitting, the upper fitting (on the cap) stays open.

The upper fitting on the BOV goes to any preasure source, something off the intake manifold would be best. The lower fitting stays open.

You can also tap the boost controller into the line that runs to your BOV. The best place for the MBC would be a preasure fitting on your turbo's compressor housing or outlet elbow if it has either of those. The shorter you keep the MBC lines the better; it will help eliminate boost spike.
