maybe help?
Just installed my blitz ebc and everything feels wrong.ok i ran a T to the controller and stepping motor from manifold after throttle body and ran the out from stepping motor to wastegate.Now my boost gauge will only read up to 1/2 the boost even at full boost.also in 4 gear on the highway at 117 mph hit 18.9psi according to ebc display. Any advise would be useful thanks Will

"English **********er, ... do you speak it!?"
sorry, I had to.
Seriously though, I have no idea what you just said.
I am pretty sure with all the Blitz ebc's, installation is the same, ... but what Blitz ebc do you have?
- The Blitz soleniod should be connected between the vacuum port on the turbo compressor housing, and the wastegate. I believe the "IN" port on the soleniod connects to the compressor, and the "OUT" port to the wastegate.
- The 'teflon hose' from the Blitz control unit should probably be "T"d into the vacuum hose going to the blow off valve. It is best to buy a "T" and some extra vacuum line to do this.
That is the spot where you'd want to read boost from, for a boost gauge.
You also need to make sure you 'cap' off the connection on the plastic intake pipe (which has a vacuum line running to the stock soleniod, which you don't need).
You should also connect a vacuum line, or cap off, the stock soleniod ports. Usually we just connect a vacuum hose to one port and then into the other, esentially inabling it to 'read' anything. Imagine in the pic below that the red line is a vacuum line, that's what you want to do.

thanks for the help.Just to clarify things i have the T to the teflon hose from right by the turbo inlet hose from intercooler. out goes directly to wastegate.So what you're saying is take out the T to the teflon hose and run it from the blowoff valve hose.And put a T between the wastegate and by the turbo inlet hose?By the way i already capped that hose out of intake off.

and the line from the wastegate should go to the "OUT" port on the soleniod.
and the line from the turbo compressor side should go to the "IN" port on the soleniod.
No 'T' anywhere off of the wastegate.

I took a look at his boost controller setup tonight and discovered that his controller (grey box that everything connects too) internally was not connected so he had a major boost leak! So I took that cover off reconnected everything swapped out some hoses with some hoses I had and everythings running smoothly now

Oh yeah.. He bought the boost controller from Farid so he didn't get everything. He had to supply his own hoses to install the EBC and they were the wrong sizes. I'm glad that I kept the left overs I had
