    Copied from the PDF...

    DUAL STAGE GATED BOOST CONTROL VALVE (DS GBCV) INSTRUCTIONS

    PART NUMBER FG-GBCVDS

    IMPORTANT NOTES ON FITTING YOUR DS GBCV
    - Turbosmart recommends that your DS GBCV is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician
    - Use only Silicon hose when fitting the DS GBCV – other hoses will be effected by heat and will eventually crack or split, this will cause over-boosting and may cause serious engine damage
    - Ensure that the hose is clean and free of debris
    - Ensure that all hose connections are secured with hose clamps
    - Mount the DS GBCV tee piece between the pressure source and the wastegate actuator – keep the joining hoses to a minimum length
    - The DS GBCV should be adequately shielded from heat and positioned at least 100mm from the turbine housing or the exhaust manifold
    - A Turbosmart Fuel Cut Defender may need to be used in conjunction with your DS GBCV – refer to www.turbosmart.com.au for more detail

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
    - The Blue wire is positive and the Brown wire is negative
    - Extend and connect the Blue wire through the switch to a fused 12 volt ignition supply – Important, failure to connect to an ignition supply may cause the battery to go flat and may result in damage to the product
    - Check that the power source can accept an additional 1amp load
    - Connect the brown wire, with crimp supplied, to a solid ground point on the chassis

    IMPORTANT NOTES ON SETTING BOOST PRESSURE
    - Adjustment to the DS GBCV is made by turning the Boost Dials (see figure 2)
    - Turn in a clockwise direction to increase boost and the reverse direction to decrease boost
    - Before making any adjustment both the Boost Dials will need to be fully closed (anti-clockwise)
    - The low boost setting must be adjusted before the high boost setting
    - Consult your local specialist before setting your desired boost pressure. Setting boost beyond your engines capability may result in engine damage.
    - Turbosmart recommends that your DS GBCV is adjusted by an appropriately qualified technician
    - Turbosmart recommends that the Air Fuel ratio is checked once boost pressure is set
    - Turbosmart recommends that boost pressure is set using a Dynamometer and not on the street
    - Turbosmart recommends that a boost gauge be permanently fitted to the vehicle

    SETTING BOOST PRESSURE
    Step 1: Apply full load to the engine (in a high gear at full throttle) and note the boost pressure
    Step 2: To increase boost turn the Boost Dial clockwise (maximum of 11 clicks or one turn at a time)
    Step 3: Apply full load to the engine and note the boost pressure
    Step 4: Compare the actual boost pressure with the desired boost pressure. If the actual pressure is below desired pressure return to step 2. If the actual is above the desired boost then decrease by turning the Boost Dial anti-clockwise and return to step 3.
    Step 5: Activate the Rocket Launcher Switch and repeat steps 1 to 4 for the high boost setting

    TROUBLE SHOOTING
    The following points should be checked if you find that your engine is over-boosting, under-boosting or the boost pressure is fluctuating. Please note, the following checks will cure 99% of problems experienced when fitting a Turbosmart Gated Boost Control Valve.
    - Check that the DS GBCV Tee Piece is installed so that the arrow points toward the wastegate actuator
    - Check the joining hoses for splits, cracks or loose connection
    - Check to see if the DS GBCV is blocked or contaminated with dirt or debris
    - Ensure that there is nothing but the DS GBCV Tee Piece in the hose between the pressure source and the wastegate actuator, ie tee pieces for boost gauge or to factory boost solenoid.
    - Check that the joining hoses are not blocked or kinked or restricted, particularly if the existing hose was reused
    - Pressure test the wastegate actuator for leakage, the diaphragm or housing may be cracked or split
