New here.. A few minor questions I had..

First off, manual boost controller. All I need to do is get down to the wastegate actuators on each side so I can run hoses from there and T them at the MBC. But it's GETTING DOWN THERE TO THE BASTARDS that's the problem. Anyone have any ideas? I mean, if I pulled the master cylinder on the drivers side, I could get to it i think, but I really dont want to have to go that far haha.

Second, are there any "free mods" I should be aware of? Easy things I can do to better my car, etc. I'm relatively new to Zs and Nissans.

Third, timing. These bad boys are OBDI and last I knew, you had to set timing at idle with a timing light. What's a good number? Keep in mind i have a daily and I plan to regularly autocross the Z next year. So what would be a good, aggressive base timing angle?

Timing is 15.

You should be able to "t" the wastegate hoses as they come up from the turbos to the intake pipes.

Pull the turbo outlet pipes, then there is a line going from the actuator to the solennoid and from the turbo inlet pipe to the solenoid. Just tap into the linto the factory line.

Just an FYI, MBC's are a pretty bad idea past 10psi without a tune to accomadate for the boosylt spikes.
