Tru-Boost Install wiring and Tubing connections

Hey all I have searched Not only the boards here but on Aems forums and others and I wondered if any of you people that installed this can do a Step-by-step install of this. I have read
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=80842 and understand where to open up the glove box and how to run the wires and tube though but I dont have a clear and fuzzy on:
Where to mount or zip tie my Boost Solenoid.
Where to connect my wires.
Where I should cut my tube, and do I need anything other than what comes with the Kit?

If anyone has or has seen a good write up for this I would greatly appreciate it.

Side Notes.
I am installing a Labonte meth Kit this week with this and my wideband .

I used the instructions that came with the AEM unit. I ran the vac hoses exactly how they are pictured for the internal wastegate. I ran the sensing line to the top of the FPR with a Vac T that I bought and mini zip tied everything down when I was done. While you are in their you might as well zip tie every vac line you can get too. I also kept my stock BCS harness hooked up and removed all old vac lines from the turbo and wastegate. I am not sure if I used the supplied AEM tubing or if I purchased another? Check the size before starting. I fastened my AEM solenoid underneath the intake box to keep clear of water. The wiring diagram is really self explanitory. It's really easy

take a picture, mine was blue and had 3 ports when looking at it head on.

1 on the left side, 1 in the middle on the front, and 1 on the right. One is for the filter/muffler thing and the other 2 were for my vac fittings for the hoses that goes to my turbo and wastegate. Hope this helps

Ok, so I looked and looked and never found an response but I did find a guy with an ugly meter (volt tester) he had in his car down town so I borrowed it and I found the black/white wire that came from the steering wheel harness. This worked best for me because I am trying to put up the Apiller.

BTW if you want an Apiller SPEND THE EXTRA CASH and get the MR one from the Mitsu Dealer. That POS that comes from Lancershop is garbage. It doesnt fit at all.
