Very easy. Pic shows the grommet by the steering shaft where it goes to and connects to the turbo. Let me know if you need another specific pics.

I mean just like if I open a stock hood and put one on what vacuum lines would I hook into and where would I connect ?

Mine is under essentialy a stock hood with a stock turbo. All i did was run the vacuum line from the turbo through the firewall to the manual boost controller. Nothing else has to be modified or touched, its that simple. Every 1/2 turn is one pound of boost and I can squeee an extra 10lbs with the controller.

Using an RJC Manual Boost Controller as an example:

1. Remove stock wastegate hoses
2. Using a 1/4" hose connect outlet from turbo to bottom end of boost controller
3. Using a 5/32" hose connect the top end of the boost controller to wastegate actuator

Unlike your stock setup, no hoses connect to your wastegate solenoid with the above setup but you should keep it plugged in or you'll throw a code. Also, set up your wastegate actuator so that you have to pull it out about 1/8" inch to hook onto the arm.

Can't post photos now but if needed I can post later. Hope this helps.

The RJC was an excellent example too! I bought my GN from a friend of the family who had boughten it new and who even brought it to the dealer for a simple air filter change. The boost controller was the first mod ever done to it.
