- Tue Apr 20, 2010 6:28 pm #188807 wastegates have a spring in them that determine when it opens (ex. 6lb spring opens when it sees 6psi). without a boost controller, you run a vac line from the wastegate to the compressor outlet (theres usually a nipple). to raise boost, "t" to a boost controller off this line OR i'm pretty sure you can run a line from the top opening on the WGA (if it has one) to a boost controller.


and your BOV needs tapped to a vac source on the intake manifold
