Default boost controller questions

I have a turbo setup on my truck I have an external wastegate. on one port of the wastegate it builds 8 psi on the other port it builds 20 + psi. so I bought a manual boost controller tonight It does not have a diagram and I have tried hooking it up a couple diff. ways and still don't build more than 11 psi. I am shooting for about 16 psi. And yes before I am asked the motor is a 5.3 with a forged rotating assy. any diagrams available? I have searched and all the diagrams I have found contradict one another.

you need to get a vacume signal from the intake manifold going to one side of the boost controller and then hook the other to the bottom port on the waste gate and leave the top one open. Then turn the dial till you hit your desired boost level. It should have an arrow showing which direction to go on the boost controller unless it looks like the one from above, which I really like by the way!
