Re:external wastegate problems?
man, wtf? i had the boost controller hooked up originally to the top port and the side port straight to a vacuum source, i had it like this for a few days and the bc was working fine, was fully adjustable, no spikes, everything was perfect, turbo spooled quick as hell. i thought you were only suppose to hook up electronic bc's like that, but it worked fine, so i left it. then i'm reading around and hear that that is very dangerous and bad, so i swith it to the top port just venting, and the bc in line with the side port and now i have some serious lag. what is the danger of having it hooked up how i did with the top port to bc and side port to vacuum if it works fine?

i got my boost controler hooked up like it says in the instructions. between the turbo compressor housing and the wastegate actuator, does this cause more lag then connecting it between the intake manifold and wastegate actuator?

dam no wonder i spool up 10psi at 6k rpm w/.60 trim t3 in 2nd gear. ***! ima do that ---- right tommorow. but isn't what my boost gauge reads the actual psi i'm running? it's hooked upto the intake manifold. i'd hate to have to retune this crap again.

Re:external wastegate problems?
Both the BOV and the wg are connected inline with the fuel pressure regulator. the car builds 10psi in first gear before 5500k rpm and in 2nd gear 10psi by 4800 rpm. Vtec is set at 4500 rpm. it builds up boost way faster connected this way. i also pluged the nipple on the compressor with a rubber boot. Is the BOV a better place to connect it to then inline with the Boost gauge which is connected under the intake manual inline with the cruise control?

i have my boost gauge t'd in the same place you do, and i have my bov t'd in to my fpr, and then my wg t'd in to my bov. which sounds like teh same way you have it, mine spools up pretty fast this way also.
