boost controller hook up *searched*

[obsolete]

so this setup is JWT specific. If you hook it up this way w/out a flow restrictor, then you'll never get boost? if a boost gauge is connected to this line, then is it possible for the gauge to read the pressure, but not 'really' get any boost? meaning it will read the boost pressure but in reality there is a leak?

Yes. To be honest I have never seen a boost controller that vents to atmosphere like that. Most of the ones I've seen doesn't require a flow restrictor.

Correct. It'll be like running with a BOV stuck on open. You'll leak metered air and the ECU won't like you.

What like, the atmosphere line? This line should be vented to atmosphere and not plugged up with a pressure gauge. If you Tee off this line all you'll ever see is atmospheric, which is 0 on a boost gauge.

Put the boost gauge where you're supposed to put it. Quit messing around with turbo plumbing if you don't know how it's supposed to be.
