    wtf is a stage 2.

    does your turbo have internal or external wastegate?

    here are some diagrams:

    drill a hole and add a nipple. it can be on the turbo or on the pipe after it.

    the nipple has to very close to the turbo to get accurate boost pressure.

    what mods do you have? stage 2 mods could mean anything; from basic intake/exhaust mods to full on everything upgraded.

    unless you have an aftermarket ecu with someone reputable to retune your car, run factory boost.

    any higher without a retune... you risk leaning out and bang goes the engine.

    yeah no worries...

    if it doesn't work, check your forged actuator...

    I always thought the best source for a boost controller is just before the throttle body. That way, you dont see the boost drop off at higher rpms..

    Thanks mate that's how I will do it :) and ill set gauge to 15psi :) top man how do you test an actuator to see if it's working ??

    once its running, start off with the boost controller closed (off). it should give internal gate boost pressure. (7-10ish psi)

    if your car reads boost on the gauge, the actuator is working.

    then you can adjust til you get 15psi.

    if your engine blows up (it probably wont, but if it does) your fault, sue yourself.
