Brand new Gated Boost Control Valve
Increasing boost pressure is often the most cost effective increase in horsepower
It avoids having to replace wastegate springs, which only give a fixed increase, which is not adjustable
allow boost pressure to be adjusted above the standard setting
To avoid using un-reliable methods of increasing Boost, such as shortening the actuator rod. This causes spring bind in the actuator and restricts flow through the wastegate.
Designed to be mounted inside the cabin and allows for boost adjustment on the run. Ideal for the active enthusiast.
Control boost from the drivers seat
Detent System for ease of adjustment
Gated System to bring boost on faster
Mounting bracket, hose and all fitting hardware supplied
come with installation instructions(please email me)

If you look on your turbo, you'll see a nipple on it with a hose coming out of it, plug that into the bottom of the MBC. Then near the wastegate, you'll see another hose, plug that into the side of the MBC. Then turn the MBC all the way down and slowly work your way up to where you want it.
edit: I just looked at your ebay link. I dunno what that weird red T block thing is. On the fittings on the actual MBC, u normall just plug the wastegate to the "in" nipple and turbo to the "out" nipple. Yours looks kinda different though. You should keep bugging him for the instructions. The flat black things look like it's just to screw into the side of the MBC so u can mount it somewhere in your engine bay.
