I am installing mine this weekend. it takes about 5 minutes to install and an hour to tune.

there are more detailed instructions in a previous post but there are the hoses on the side of the airbox going into a switch. remove the line to the wastgate actuater (RED) and put a plug where you remove it from the switch. then take the line into the switch (BLUE) i think, it is the one that is not real short and does not connect to the airintake pipe. put a T in this line and put hte dawes device on the new T fitting and then put the (RED) watstgate hose on the G-Valve-- (vented end with small hole)-- VERY IMPORTANT TO PUT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.. then adjust the valve to the desired boost setting. drive and adjust, drive and adjust, etc.

there is a small spike of 1-2 psi so set the valve to 12 psi for HPT and 11 psi for LPT engine.

100.00 for the added boost sure beats a ECU upgrade for 800.00$$$$..
