I've heard different opinions about installing the manual boost controller on the 1981 in the short factory hose that runs from the pressure side of the turbo to the actuator. This would mean eliminating the long hose from the driver's side IC hardpipe over to the actuator. (That's how it was set up on the 1985 donor.) It would also mean capping the nipple on the driver's side hardpipe and plugging the vent hole on the passenger side hard pipe. This seems like a cleaner layout, but I've heard different opinions. Anybody want to kick in their views on this?
