the red line going to the top part of the turbo..pull it off and plug the end of the line on a boot clamp bolt..you should have a boost gauge..pushing the turbo over 25 psi is hard on it..

i didnt think the banks kit was wastegated? but if it is you can un plug it and see some more psi on the top end but it really didnt do a whole lot feel wise... i ran mine unpluged for a while but decided it wasnt worth the turbo blowing up just on a chance that it was hurting it..... then the turbo blew
