I have one of the older Greddy electronic boost controllers that say IN and OUT on the black box. What is the best way to hook it up to my external wastegate. I've heard different ways so I just wanna see which is the best. Is it better to use the top and side ports on the external wastegate or just one?

for the gain to work if so equipped, it must be hooked up like this..
The black line can be hooked up to the pressure nipple on the compressor housing if you have one. In our case we had a GT3071R that didn't have one so I went with the intake manifold for a source.
Use both lines/nipples for the EBC!
The diagram is something I made to show some SRT-4 owners how to hook up their ebc with a large turbo kit.
I have a dyno sheet showing the difference from using the gain and hold boost features.Gone - 1988 Shiro

Thanks for the info NIVO but my newer Greddy profec B type-S has the solenoid that you show in the pic but the older one in my SS only has 2 ports marked IN and OUT. Which would they be connected to? Normally the IN goes to the compressor housing nipple and the out to the top of the external wastegate but I want to run it something like you show in the pic.Shiro #443

It depends on how you have the pots set up on the back of the control box / boost controller. I cant remember how mine are set. I have a line coming out of the turbo, then it tee's off and one side goes to the IN of the solenoid and the other goes to the bottom port on the gate. then I have a line coming off of the top of the gate and going to the OUT of the solenoid box.
Gate see's boost on both sides of diaphram until boost controller kicks in and then it completely opens the top hose and vents it causing the waste gate to pop open.
Yes, I have the older one too. Translucent blue, no digital anything. If you look on the back of the controller part there are a set of 4 pot switches that have to be set a certain way in order for different wastegate setups. If you need me to I can go down and look at mine to see how it is set up.85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

Just found this website that shows how to hook it up. Is this how you have yours set up?
The one I have is the PRofec B spec in the pics.
