Looking at the car, on the left hand side of the engine bay. (drivers side) bolted just before the strut tower is a PCV Unit or something. in the hose that connects to that is a restrictor. very hard to see but if you squeeze the hose you'll feel it. disconnect this and cut the hose before this restictor. insert manual boost controller here. Make sure you leave the PCV unit electronics still plugged in though. This is how i did it and it has worked fine for a year now. no probs.

The bleed valve replaces the stock unit as per the photo.

i hooked up one of the $22 boost controllers to my gtr... i did it when the motor was out.

on the underside of the rear of the plenum there is a rubber line that goes down to a T shaped steel pipe, which goes toward the front and rear of the car.. i disconnected this, and connected it to the inlet side of the valve. then i located the steel line that goes around the back of the head to the wastegate actuators and disconnected the rubber line from it on the plenum side and connected that to the outlet side of the valve. then i blocked off the return line side of the plumbing from the factory valve.

i hope that makes sense... the boost control system in the car still looks stock, as you cant see the $22 valve cos its tucked up under the plenum.

its currently holding 12psi absolutely perfectly, and im going to wind it further when the powerfc arrives

im not sure how you would do this with the motor in-car... its very difficult to get to.

sweet i understand now... with electronic boost controllers is it the same setup?. 12psi is wat im planning to do also. would it make a big diff?
