Bought the HKS boost controller a while ago and i'm getting ready to hook it up. i know where everything goes except for where it says to go to the compressor suction pipe. is that my vacuume line???? what is it help please.

should be on the turbo itself. near the intake inlet. Thats the compressor inlet I believe, and it goes right on there. The other goes to the wastegate. Hope this helps.

that's what i thought but it tells me to put those two lines "tee"d together and then to the boost controller but then it says to go from the boost controller to the compressor suction pipe/source??????

Nice choice in product but welcome to the wonderfully shitty world of instructions from HKS. If your not exactly positive what to do call up HKS themselves and ask they normally can tell you quickly what to do.

I found out from a friend what to do, the pipe was my intake pipe before the turbo. I am now running 8psi somewhat sucessfully.

Just outta curiosity how do you like that boost controller, im considering getting one, is it easy to use, how well does it hold boost etc ?

so far it has been holding boost fine. actual setting it though was a little bit of a pain but it only took about 1/2 hour to set it correctly. with holding boost it has only been on the car for one night but i heard turbo xs controllers can't hold boost well so thats why i went with the HKS

what was the highest anyone has boosted?

here's a silly question. do you really need to have a boost controller or is it just as safe to rely on only the internal wastegate to regulate boost? i plan on setting my boost at 8psi and never changing it, and i figure the only reason to have a boost controller is if you want to have that constant access to change it.

yeah my wastegate spring is a 4.5 lb spring. all the boost controller does is keep the wastegate from springing open at 4.5 and letting out all the pressure so yeah just have the wastegate set at 8 lbs and your good.
