Not sure how this actually works, but after I hook up the MBC i need to install the gauge. can someone tell me where the hose for the gauge go to? after I tee off the MBC theres no other plugs to hook it up to.
best bet is on the intake manifold. and your best bet for the mbc is there as well.

Basically.
You "T" the BOV Line for the MBC.
-Bottom of MBC goes to the BOV
-Side of MBC goes to the waiste gate of the turbo
for the Boost Gauge:
You "T" the Vacuum line that's part of the "FPR" - (not the line that goes to the FPR but the one that goes to the Intake Manifold)
If you find the FPR on the end of the fuel rail. Fallow that to the Firewall. You'll see it attach's to a Silnoid looking thing (Black). There is another Line that comes out that Silinoid and goes to the Intake manifold. That's the line you want to put your "T" into for the boost Guage.
Then just run the wire through the fire wall where ever you want (I just took and exacto Knife and sliced a little "X" in the steering wheel boot at the fire wall and then ran the "Plastic" Boost Gauge Line up through the dash to the "A Pillar" Pod.
bingo.. he had more time and ended up typing more.., or you can just take it to one of the local dsm shops and they can put it in for you quickly and painlessly

Enes, I think we all know this is something he can do on his own.
I would tee the bov line for the boost gauge and run the mbc off the wastegate of the turbo. Just cut the line and put on the mbc. That is how mine is run. I have set it up like Brian (slowwhite) in other cars.
i didn't want to put the man down or antyhing.
But i can point out a few people who talk the talk, but when i looked at their boost gauge install it literarly sucked. Hell some people had/have 2 or 3 boost gauges and neither of them work/worked right!!!
I was just trying to point out that if he doesn't have the tools or know how to consult or hire one of the local shops to get this taken care of.
