the one that goes straight down goes to the waste gate actuator

the other one can go on the turbo nipple or to a vacuum line on your intake manifold

I might relocate the mbc though. I always had a fear of someone just cranking up my boost with easy access like that. Mine is next to my strut bar. Just my .02

yes yes, i agree but i just bought this car not too long ago and learning how it all works.

it seems like its turned about half way, i take it the only way to find out how much it boost's when i adjust it is by getting it tuned?
Or
Can i adjust it by basing it off the stock gauge? Can someone break it down and tell me what all these numbers mean lol.

Should i get an after market Boost gauge?

I can't remember exactly, but on my STi it boosted 14.5 PSI stock and my gauge read right under 1bar. I would look into a gauge in psi for sure.

1bar=14.7 psi.so on ur gauge 0.5 bar=7.35 psi 1.0 bar=14.7 psi and 1.5bar=22.05 psi.after the tune and all bolt-ons u'll be boosting like 23-25 psi.i'm affraid u'll have to have 30psi boost gauge.hope it helped.
