here's what i used...i just copied and pasted what Jason wrote.
no diagram, but detailed enough!
Profec b install
1.Remove air box or aftermarket intake.
2.Mount the Profec black box or Actuator behind the headlight.
3. Run the wire into the car through the firewall or through the steering column boot.
4 Mount the controller on the drivers side of the car. I chose under the steering wheel were the little A/C vent is that blows into your BIG JUICY VINN-A-RINO CROTCH, or lack thereof Just pull out the vent or cut it and velcro the profec under there.
5. Now hook up the power and ground wire. Run the power wire down to the drivers side kick panel. There is a fuse box you can tap into. Just remove one of the fuses and slip the wire in between the fuse and puch it back in.
6. Now its time to hook up the black box. Look down at the turbo and you will notice 2 small hoses that run from the actuator to the wastegates. The outside hose is longer than the other. Remove the smaller of the hoses, which is the inside hose. Run a hose from the Actuator to the IN on the black box and from the OUT on the box to the wastegate.
7. On the back side of the wastegate is a small hose that runs up to the engine. That is what lets the ECU control boost. Pull the hose off the end of the wastegate and cap the nipple on the wastegate. You can let the hose dangle, there is no need to remove it.
8. T-connect the hose from your boost gauge to the back of the profec B.
Put the car back together. Make sure the power works on the profec.
9. Take the car for a spin. Leave the Profec OFF and go WOT. You should see about 7 lbs of boost. Now turn on the Profec with the dials turned all the way down. Which I think is to the left. Get on a good stretch of Highway and in 4th gear go WOT. Slowly turn the dial up to the boost level you would like. Keep the MILD/SHARP dial a few clicks towards SHARP.
Check your settings on the back of the Profec to adjust for overboost problems.
If none of this fixes it, you either have a faulty Profec or a faulty boost gauge. Either way, be careful when going wide open. Better safe than sorry....
and check the technical section at www.greddy.com for how to set the dip switches on the back.
I'm too lazy to go look in my car!
