So I just installed a new Isis t25 sr20 replacement turbo on my ca, I've searched and searched and cannot find anywhere to connect one of the vacuum hoses that comes from my boost controller solenoid. Is there anywhere this can be connected to elsewhere? I got the one plug into the waste gate actuator and this is my last one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did have the stock turbo on before if that's any help.

boost controller needs to be connected to the wastegate actuator and then the other end connected to your boost source, which is either right at the turbo or on your intake manifold

I was told I could connect to the hot pipe also. Is that true?

Try to put the boost source for your boost controller as close as possible to the turbo. It can either be in the intercooler piping (yes the hotpipe), or ATP sells a "Boost Tap Fitting" that you drill a hole in a coupler and insert the fitting. Google it and you will see what I'm talking about :)

it's either one or the other, not both... thus, there is no "also"
