Nah Jay I talked him into a turbosmart controller.



Martin run a hose from the turbo pipe, blue line in the pic





To the "in" arrow on the controller then connect the "out" arrow on the controller to the wastegate actuator. There should have been a small 5" hose with a wastgate pill in there that you have to remove to put in the new lines.





Very important that you make sure to also remove the 2nd line off the wastegate actuator and cap that end also. Finaly cap the end of the pipe that it was attached to and you should be all set.

Open the controller up about 2 full turns first and you should be able to go from there.

Good Job Dave
