Are you sure you want to do a turbo install? Boost controllers are very easy to hook up..
Does that turbo have an internal wastegate?

no i know how to hook it up but theres no spout/hole on the turbo it self where you connect the boost controller to the turbo and the other line to the wastegate....even if it did have and internalwastegate the turbo still doesnt have that line/spout/hole i dont know what to call it

Does the turbo have one of these on it?

Or does the turbo have a flapper like this?


..if not do you have any sort of wastegate? I suggest you stop working on your car

You can pick up a pressure source anywhere between the turbo and the throttle valve. If you "like" your port directly on the turbo, just drill and tap a hole on the outlet neck of the turbo. carfull not to let any metal filings get into the turbo or charge pipe!
