Its a dual port, remove and block the second one that goes to the factory boost controller at both ends (I used a 10mm bolt and a hose clamp) and run the second port to your ebc. You can use either port, they are both the same.

Dont have a pic but I mounted mine using an existing bolt hole on the firewall on the air intake side. Planning on moving it though as a fair bit of noise from the soleniod it transmitted in the cabin.[/list]

you can get a steering wheel mounted switch for switching between high and low

Just leave it on high and use your right foot to control the boost!
