O.K first off my truck sits way to low for a good pic, but here are a few to make it clear as mud.

The first pic shows the "T" in the Blue arrowed hose that is green; you can also see the Red arrowed hose coming from the Control valve.


The green arrowed hose goes from the "T" and to the regulator.


From the Regulator it goes to the control valve, which now is pointed with the Red arrow.


And Finally the Red arrow makes it to the back side of the Waste gate.

Just out of curiosity, those pic look like they where taken when it was new and shiny for the most part. Has you exhaust side pipes started to rust? It doesn't appear that the coating they put on my is all that great, cuz mine and Mort's I believe have some rust showing and I was wondering if that was just a coating problem they had in the beginning, or if its still a current thing.

Edit: Opps didn't mean to high jack, just curious

Nope, I took them today, I installed the turbo in April of this year.
