Default Turbosmart Dual Stage Boost Controller

Hey guys I just got a Dual stage boost controller and im trying to figure out how to install it. I got a ZPI set up 16G turbokit with a FMIC also with a 38mm Turbo concepts wastegate. Does the controller Just Tee into the vacume line that goes to the Wastegate? I have an 06 AUTO so I am thinking that I am going to run 4 or 5 PSI on the first stage and then 8 psi in the 2nd stage. Does this sound like it will work? My thinkings on doing this is to have a low PSI on the street and then I can change it when I really want to go fast! But also I think by doing this it would be a little easier on the auto tranny, do you guys think that it will do this for my tranny? Or am I just thinking way to hard about it?
Thanks for the info in advance,
Chris

yea you tee it into the vac line that goes into the wastegate.

manual = cut vac line from block to wastegate

electtronic = the nub on the top of wastegate

I never knew that...learn something new everyday. I know I had seen the difference but had never put it together in my head. Thanks AEN!
