Installing a Manual Boost Controller

I just bought a 96 eclipse gs-t with a 16G turbo, and the guy gave me the mbc in a box with no instructions on how to install it. Can anyone help me?

Very simple. First there are two hoses on the MBC. The bottom one goes to the compressor housing and the side one goes to the wastegate actuator. Here is a good picture of basically what you are doing

there are plenty of places online. Even ebay will have decent ones. Yes anyone can install these. However in order to properly use it you also need a boost guage
