Na06ce: a spec sheet in a magazine and online isn't the same as active conversation about a build or builds.
I was not talking about your car I was talking about people who have made claims with no proof ever, they know who they are.

I am sorry that so many take open discussion on the Internet so personally that they feel they cannot contribute any longer. I can probably still dig up PMs sent to me from members who have left because they were sick of the preciousness.

You have not over stepped any line opinions are free to be given.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

You need to run a hose between the nipple on the wastegate actuator and the housing, like you marked out in your pic. If you were to run a boost controller/bleed boost, you would attach it to that hose. No hose = max boost that the actuator/wastgate is set at, usually not safe as there's no restriction/control of boost pressure.

As for the boost gauge, you need to run it from a gradual vacuum line (usually the ones connected to the inlet manifold/throttle body). Usually a t-piece can be used to plumb the line into the vacuum hose.
