If I were you I'd go with a 1.7 and 720 cc secondaries.. Probably not what you wanna hear as you just went 1.5 but the extra fuel is nice. You have an aftermarket boost gauge right? You can get a manual boost controller for fairly cheap to turn up the boost, but i'd also do a wideband to make sure you don't lean out.

I have a turbosmart and it works great. Pretty simple devices and easy to hook up. I would stay away from the universal ebay ones however as some people have a problem hooking those up and one turn of the **** increases the boost almost 5psi! Hallman are great but a little pricey.

It says HKS on it and is a high quality unit. Of course I'm using the electronic one,EVC-S, which is why it was never used.

I am fully capable of using google, however you tried to be a smartass and replied with the WRONG link. That's why I told you that you should look again. You made yourself look stupid.

Oh and google doesn't come up with any pics of an HKS MANUAL boost controller, hence why I asked for a picture. Maybe it's a really rare piece? I'm not trying to put you on blast or anything but you got into this conversation implying that I should use google search, posted a link to the wrong device, and even told me to search when there are no pics. Bravo man...
