(Or a Bost Controller at all) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND installing a Boost Gauge also [A Pyrometer ('Measures EGT [EXHAUST] Temperatures) would
also be a must!]
Actually, check his ebay "store" - last time I looked he had dozens of them at that price - different colors even!

Yeah I wouldn't even think of messing with the wastegate without a pyro and boost gauge - no way I want to blow head gaskets on my freshly installed motor!

Here's a question for you. What would be wrong with installing one of these...

It has both a pressure regulator and a built in gauge. They have them in lower pressure range models as well - I've seen 'em at their store...
