The dawes device goes onto the small bore hose going to the waste gate (from the inlet manifold), cut the hose and place the device in the 2 ends.

I would recommend that you have a boost gauge so you know exactly how much boost is being produced.

Wind the dawes device out fully, so it's not creating any "Extra Boost" and slowly wind the device in to gently increase the boost pressure so you're producing just under the maximum safe boost pressure.
I've heard conflicting advice on max boost for STI's, ie between 1.1 - 1.4 bar, so double check.

If you produce too much boost, the fuel cut will step in, and it's one horrible sensation, and the engine won't like it one bit.

it's the hose that goes to the wastegate on the turbo.

I'll take some pics in the morning for you
