Boost controller installation
 
Can someone with boost controller install experience confirm my understanding.
The twin-seq turbo system really is more like a single turbo system, and the boost cut being controlled by a single wastegate actuator is it not? (instead of 2 of everything for a twin setup)
Here is the important one, the boost controller simply takes over the wastegate control (replaces the stock pills, if you will), is this correct?

I will be installing a FMIC, efini Y-pipe, SBC-ID and Power-ID and cross drilled/slotted brake rotors next week, so any help by this weekend is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dude, let me know what you think of your Blitz SBC-ID and Power Meter.:)

Yes the boost controller replaces the primary restictor pill. It's not so much a boost cut as much as it is a boost limiter. Boost will maintain it's limit, but not fall off.

GD! Will it ever end??????

Just when I thought the PFC wld be the only thing I need I keep finding these topics. BOV's.........Boost Controllers.......etc.....

When will it stooooooooop???

Seriously tho, I put in a dp, catback, pfc and an intake soon. Do I need any of this other stuff? I wanna make the car as reliable as possible so just give it to me straight! :(

3rdgenluvr, here is my take on your question, if what you want to do is to make your car more reliable, here is the list of do and don'ts
Do:
1. Replace stock radiator
2. Install DP
3. Replace all vacuum hoses
4. Change fluids often
5. Change spark plugs every 4500 mi
6. Install boost and A/F gauge
7. Install turbo timer

Don't:
Install aftermarket intake
Install MP and catback
Change your boost
Replace or upgrade intercooler
Aftermarket fuel computer
(and anything that would change your A/F mixture tempers with the balance of combustion physics)

Any time you start modifying the car in an attempt to increase power output you are risking a reduction in the reliability of the car (unless you are mechanically versed and know the proper way to fine tune the engine management system).
