Default hooking up a boost controller

Ok so i bought a evo3big16 from extremepsi.com and i cant figure out how to hook up my manual boost controller to it, either there is no place to hook up a nipple or im just not seeing it. right now i have stock bcs hooked up to the wastegate.
any info would be helpful

www.vfaq.com
you dont hook it up to the turbo. One end goes on the wastegate the other gets t'ed into a vaccuum line

Yeah, the charge pipe of the E316G doesn't always have a boost source nipple...it should IMO or I would get one welded on.
Tee it off of the BOV hg tube and you'll be good to go bud.

I dont think you have to T it off the wastegate line. Just disconnect it off the BCS and hook it straight up to the Wastegate, and other side to the BOV line. Thats it!

It should go like this...wastegate valve---(<--that's the hose, lol)---MBC----T---BOV/Intake (<--you T it inbetween the BOV and intake..you know, that hose that comes from the intake to the BOV).

Here's the vFaq on installing an MBC http://www.belitski.com/cars/talonmo...aqhallman.html

You dont want the BCS in there if your using a MBC. Leave the wires plugged in, but lose the hoses.

As long as you don't have hoses connected to the BCS, your good to go, just leave it electrically connected (keep it plugged in)
