Default STS Gurus I need some help.

O.K. got the STS installed fri night/sat morning on my 06 GTO. GT67 Turbo upgrade, FMIC, Nexus Boost and Wideband guages (Autometer wideband programings not available yet hopefully this week.) SCSS Guage Pod and finally Devils Own Meth kit installed.

Still trying to contact Formato for tuning but in the meantime I'm driving the car staying out of boost.

Questions

Behind, connected to the wastegate I have a **** that has an arrow showing clockwise is "+ positive push to lock". Would that be a form of manual boost controller? Im considering going with a manual unit. Do I need to buy one or is what I'm describing a manual boost controller? There is a micro switch in the back that I assume came with STS's electronic boost controller that I do not have. The wastegate has a .26 number on it I assume thats a 8lbs spring.

Still running with stock injectors. 60lbs Inj are waiting to go in but I'll do that right before the tune so I can still drive the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah that is a manual boost controller. It also sounds like maybe you got a electronic one to. With the STS system there is just another switch and solenoid you have to hook up for the electronic boost controller.
