When it comes to boost, it seems like you can never get enough. Well, we can't at least. Whether it's a car that comes stock with a turbo or one you've slapped an aftermarket kit on, you will never be able to kill that urge for boost. Like a yuppie fiending for his daily triple-shot mocha espresso, you too, yearn for the pressurized air spooling from your turbo-so in comes the boost controller. There are about a thousand out there, from a simple knob to full-on electronic units that could probably double as a spare brain for a NASA space shuttle. But with all of these quality parts, we don't want any complications, either. If a gadget has an instruction manual thicker than a business law textbook and takes longer to program than a graphing calculator, it gets the boot. The AEM TRU-BOOST falls right smack dab in the middle. It does its job as a fully functional boost controller with 29psi available (75 with a special boost sensor), it's simple to use and it looks dope. What's even better is that it doubles as a boost gauge so you don't end up with too many meters all over your dash. Face it, you're not in a fighter plane.
1. The AEM TRU-BOOST looks like a boost gauge and works like a boost controller. It's easy to set up and use right out of the box. Two buttons on the face help navigate through menus. | 
2. As always, when dealing with electronic parts, first disconnect your battery. You don't want to deal with any short circuits because that'll ruin your day. |
3. Locate the hose clamps for your charge pipe and loosen them. There should be one at the turbo and another going down to the intercooler. |  |
4. After loosening the clamps you can pop off the charge pipe. Depending on what kind of couplers you're using you might need to force it off. | 
5. On the charge pipe locate the fitting that has a vacuum line attached and runs to the wastegate. Pull this off. |
6. Wrap the provided fittings with Teflon tape and tighten them into the TRU-BOOST solenoid. The ports you use will vary depending on if you're using an internal or external wastegate. |  |
7. Since we're using an internal wastegate we ran the vacuum line from the wastegate to port 2 and port 3 with the other end open for now. |  |
8. Go back and zip tie the vacuum lines so they don't pop off unexpectedly. |  |
9. Find the power and ground wires from the boost solenoid and extend them to be able to run to the inside of the car. | 
10. Look for a good place to mount the solenoid so the turbo heat doesn't affect it. Zip tie it down so it doesn't move around. |
11. Now grab the open end of the vacuum line from port 3 and run it to the fitting on the charge pipe. | |
