So I hooked up my MBC two ways first wast vacume line with a T-fitting straight to where the arrow pointed. The second nipple on the MBC was set to atmosphere. It's only boosted to stock PSI. This is how I have it hooked up now after researching a little bit and it still boosts to stock psi no matter how many turns I give it. Please let me know if this is how it's supposed to be hooked up.

i cant see the pics, but i had a "home depot" boost controller. one inlet, one outlet. i ripped my stock hose off the wastegate/turbo, went to autozone got a foot of the right size hose, cut it in half and installed the MBC. also dont be surprised when u feel like you hit a brick wall when messing with the boost, you will more than likely hit FC at least once before you get it dialed in. after tinkering with mine i was running 14psi

Flip it around, as the flow come from the nipple on the turbo, not the wastegate.

Yeah, from the looks of the picture, I would say the arrow pointing in would be the supply boost (ie, the turbo nipple). Let us know what happens when you flip them around.
