Default Manual boost controller

Hi i just got my 98 civic ex tuned with a custom turbo set-up, when they tuned it they didn't run a vaccum line from the top of the waste gate just a straight vac. off the side of it to the turbo. will the top not having a line on it make any difference or not? and does anyone have a good wiring diagrams for a manual boost controller, got it off ebay its blue and silver and has the t for the vaccum line as well, thanks any one!!

If you want to install an mbc tee it off the current vacuum line going to the wastegate.
Only if it's a ball and spring type Jago. You get better control accuracy if you have a bleed style mbc and hook it up on the top as well.

I have a ball and spring type hooked to the top of my wg. Works great, very little spike.
