You carnt even mess it up mate.there are 4 holes in the mbc to are blanks and to are in and out and the is an arrow on the mbc telling you where to put it.All you do is fit it in line with the actuator pipe

I just need some fitting advice now, i know you guys say it's easy and i'm sure it is but i'm still a novice so telling me to connect it to the whatever pipe is no use i'm afraid as locating said pipe will be my problem. So if anyone has any pictures of where everything goes then i'd really appreciate your help.
I know the gauge attaches somewhere as well but as above i don't know where

Fit it in line from the actuator pipe back to the soloneid with the arrow on the mbc pointing to the actuator.Also make sure the mbc is screw out fully and not in.One top of the mbc it will have a plus and minus to add boost and less boost

Found this little gem

Bloody gauge won't work, I've got power going to it and it lights up etc but doesnt register any boost. I followed the instructions to the letter. Grrrrrrrrr

Advice sought please

All sorted now, the sender unit was faulty. they sent out a new one. The car is showing 7psi which i understand is the factory norm.
HOWEVER, on 2 occasions the boost jumped up to around 14psi (just for a second)
This is before the MBC is fitted

Are you sure the boost jumped up that high - did you feel a surge of power? Just wondering if the gauge is a touch faulty? Being digital it could well be the case that its faulty? Certainly it is something you want to check out though - boost spikes could be fatal to your engine!
