Both are very crude ways to control boost.

If you are going to go with one of those "solutions" go with the manual boost controller. At least it will give you somewhat consistent control.

An electronic boost controller is far superior and will give you better turbo response and much more consistent boost control over a variety of temperatures.

Hmmm, let me see how much my friend can get those for. Which ones are good if I'm on a budget?

HKS makes a aftermarket actuator for the FC. expensive compared to a boost controller.
