Wow thats worded wierd. The reference line at the brake booster is the best line to use. It is technically at manifold pressure, and where the boost builds up is at the Restriction. The Manual boost conrtroller should have an inlet side marked. I've ran two diff controllers. 1 had the inlet on the side, and outlet on the bottom, the other was the exact opposite!!! then the outlet should go to the side port on the Wastegate and the top port open to atmosphere
