Post ReliaBoost-1 controller

Can someone show me a picture of how the ReliaBoost-1 controller looks intalled in a car. I'm having trouble intalling it.
It's from the guru set.

Thank You

Here's a picture of mine from a few months back. The hose exiting on the left side of the unit goes to the hard line under the intake manifold.

<img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/reliaboost.jpg" alt=" - " />

I've seen other installations using much shorter pieces of hose, but I wanted to make sure I kept nice smooth curves in the lines that wouldn't collapse.

I recently relocated the Reliaboost to be closer to the wastegate when I bypassed the cycling valve, but there is no strong reason for doing this that I've observed.

Hope that helps
Ron
