i think that either im confused, or someone else is...the MBC goes into the vacuum line that assists the waste gate actuator, not the blow off valve.

the best place to install a boost gauge fitting is on the intake manifold downstream of the throttle body. on my turbo car, there are a few vacuum lines running to the upper plenum area, and ill tap into that. as for the wires, those are probably for the lights in the gauge.
99clipsgst, youre MBS has absolutely nothing to do with your BOV. the waste gate is what "controls" the boost, not the BOV. the Bov is just there to release the boost pressure when you are decelerating, or shifting, etc. some cars (like mine) dont even come with a BOV, and it allows the pressure to "stack". basically when the throttle body butterfly closes, the pressure backs up all the way down through the turbo housing, which is bad for the turbo unit itself. if you put your MBC in the line between the BOV and vacuum source, you wont have a manual boost controller, youll have a manual blowoff controller, which is just silly, and im not even certain that it woudl work.
