    You don't have to tap into the turbo itself. It can be anywhere along the charge pipes. But it IS better the closer you have it to the turbo itself.

    Basically it goes like: nipple off turbo(or charge pipe), then to the boost controller, then to the wategate. And make sure you don't hook it up backwards. There is normally an arrow on the boost controller that points TOWARDS THE WASTEGATE.
    I just told this to someone else in another thread in this section too.

      People don't search. How many times has the rx7 injector question been asked this month?
      I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

        I'm a fairly patient guy. I had nothing better to do than answering.

                  Run it off a charge pipe. There are 2 trains of thought.

                  Tap it right by the turbo for an accurate/lower psi signal (due to intercooler losses)

                  Tap it off a charge pipe near the throttle for a slightly laggy/higher psi (due to accurate PSI level that enters engine)
