Yes, about 5 ft of vac tubing and twist ties. You can't plug the wastegate actuator, that's how you control the boost. The side port (output port) on the Hallman gets connected to the wastegate. Check this link for a good diagram and install steps: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...allman+install

on the diagram, it show the wastegate actuator being capped. My boost controller did not come with vacuum lines and only came with 2 caps.

Did you buy it new? Mark takes a lot of care in packaging his boost controllers, including a nice box, tubing, zip ties, detailed instructions, warranty registration, caps, etc. If you bought it from a vendor tell the vendor you need the tubing. Otherwise, just go to an auto parts place and buy some 5/32" fuel/vacuum line (black rubber and should have at least one strand of nylon reinforcement in it).

I have the Hallman instructions in front of me and I can't see it telling you to cap the wastegate actuator anywhere...which makes sense, since the boost controller wouldn't work if you did that. I know this install can be intimidating if you don't know how the boost controller works, so take a little time and read that link above; it explains how the controller should be installed, including a nice diagram. The only thing you have to cap is the barb on the turbo inlet pipe. To keep dirt out of the boost control solenoid, either zip it in a baggie or put two caps on the inlet and outlet barbs (get the extra cap at the auto parts store).

i hope you guys return to al and buy from www.boostcontroller.com
my opinion - that is the fastest service to buy parts from!

how long have you been waiting for al to send it?
boostcontroller sends it same day you order and arrives 2-3 days later - very quick!!
