Default Dawes device

I am looking to fit my MBC, someone posted a picture of the pipes to cut etc. I have a MY96 WRX and the pics related to a later car, i think.
Does anyone have any pics of where to put one on the above car?
Much appreciated

The Dawes fits between the turbo outlet nipple and the wastegate, only two bits of pipe needed. Plug the pipe to the boost solenoid with a suitably sized screw.

Thanks, got it on now. Slightly different, in that i ran longer pipework, or the dawes would have been under my induction and the altering when setting it up would have been a pain.
Just trying to set the right boost now, going for 14 or 15 psi, just turning that little bit, till i get it spot on. Then will shorten the pipes, once it is set and locked off.
Will the longer pipework affect it in any way?

shorter the pipe work the better but unless it is very long it should make no difference.

Dont know how to post the photo's. The link above was helpful for me.
As above, follow pipe from corner of intercooler, nearest to turbo. There is a hose off this pipe, cut pipe, put straight end of dawes in.
On turbo is the actuator (looks a bit like a flying saucer, LOL), there is a nipple off this, L end of dawes attached to this with some hosing.
Block the pipes from the solenoid on the suspension strut (tidy them up, as you see fit).
Go for a blat, check boost gauge, max boost achieved full throttle in 5th. Check boost gauge. To increase boost, screw dawes in, out to decrease. Now spend ages trying to set the desired boost level
This is what i did, now im sure loads of people will post saying i did it wrong!
Worked for me, so far.
An idiots guide, by an idiot, LOL
