INSTALLATION:
1) Open hood and locate turbocharger.
2) Locate and remove any and all factory boost management, hoses, tees etc. (leave electronics plugged in)
NOTE: MANY FACTORY TURBOCHARGED VEHICLES HAVE RESTRICTORS INSIDE OF THE HOSES & LINES LEADING FROM THE
COMPRESSOR SIDE OF THE TURBO. THESE RESTRICTORS WILL AFFECT BOOST RESPONSE WHEN USING THIS
CONTROLLER.
3) Using supplied hose and zip ties attach one end of hose to the compressor (boost) side of the turbo housing. Trim to length and attach hose
to the logo side (input side) of PERRIN Manual Boost Controller.
4) Again, using supplied hose and zip ties attach small end (output side) to input on waste gate. This connection is the same for both internal
and external waste gates. (Fig 1)
5) When using an external wastegate attach the hose to the lower vacuum port. (Fig 2)
6) Secure lines and controller to suitable location away from direct heat source, using supplied wire ties.

MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER WILL EQUAL THE BOOST LEVEL SET BY SPRING IN ACTUATOR. BOOST CAN BE ADDED BUT IT CANNOT BE
REDUCED TO A VALUE LOWER THAN THAT! NOTE: Do not disassemble controller as damage to internal seals may result!
2) Each complete revolution (making it shorter) of adjustment will equal approx. 1.5 lbs increase in boost. Be sure to disconnect the vacuum
hose every time you adjust the boost controller. A twist in the vacuum line can affect boost stability.
3) The controller can allow 30 PSI or more boost on most vehicles. Your vehicle may be higher or lower than that level depending on the
wastegate spring and size of turbo charger. Consult a professional tuner to decide which boost level is correct.
