it should just be, from the turbo to the IN and from the WG to the out. then cap the 2nd port on the wg. your dip switches should be 4321= up down up down

but, something is really wrong with your car if you are only getting 4psi. stock boost is 10psi and low boost is 7psi and thats only if the ecu detects a problem and wants to put you in low boost mode. if you are only getting 4psi, then you have some type of problem that should be addressed before you put a boost controller on.

Hi Lagos,
I just had my swap done, I'm boosting btn 6-8psi and no more than that, I still have my GT exhaust on. If stock boost is 10psi, could my problem be restrictive exhaust of something else? thanks Eli

6-8psi is called "low boost mode". the ecu can put the car there if there is some type of problem. i could be anything from bad gas, a boost leak, a cel light or something else. the exhaust could do it, depending on how small it was and if your cats were cloged up really bad. but to give you an example, i had a really crappy midpipe that got damaged. the thing was maybe 2in in diamiter and the rest of the exhaust was only 2.3in and i still hit 10-11psi without any boost controller. so, getting 6-8psi isint right.

zips. the car has two things that get confused a lot. there is tvis, the system that opens up the extra intake runners on the manifold and there is the tvsv, a factory selenoid boost controler that makes the car boost around 10psi when the ecu decides its safe to do so. when installing a boost controler you have to disable tvsv.
