then explain how to use a boost controller on the lnf. i know it has the electric solenoid but has 3 hoses coming off of it. the manual boost controller only has 2. not that hard to understand glen.

a boost controller goes between the turbo and the wastegate, thats all, and what is does is pretty simple

yeah pretty damn basic... i knew that... but go outside and look at your turbo and the wastegate... there are 3 hoses that go to the factory boost controller. i cant use it since im a 2.2 turbo. i have to use a different controller. they all have one in one out... the ko4 has either 2 in one out or vise versa.

go outside and look lol at my 2.4 with a custom turbo kit using an external 38mm wastegate?

my guess is just plug one, and call it a day and run one hose into and out of the boost controller as i did
