as for the boost controler, DO NOT get one of those manual turn the **** controls. they fail very easy and are hard to get a exact measurement on it. i would recommend a AVC-R. it's cheap and will control all your boasting needs along with a lot of read outs about your car.

i use the apex-i turbo timer. it's nice cause it's so small. no bigger than a pen. also, my friends and i use the turbo-xs stage 2 MANUAL boost controller with no problems... EVER. save money, it's un-neccesary to get an avc-r. they do look sweet but you are carbed. alot of the functions are worthless. all you want to do is controll boost right? well these work beautifully and will not change boost till you want it to. anywho, yea. a turbo timer is also not needed if you can just drive easy and off boost for about a mile before your stop; and if you are running the water lines as well as the oil lines then you really dont need it. save your money for performance.
