boost controller and power fc?

my mechanic wants me to get both soon but i forgot to ask which he thinks i should get first. here are my mods:

down pipe,
high flow cat,
hks exhaust tip
walbro fuel pump
intake hard piping to the factory air box
j-spec air pump(not much of a mod i dont think)
double throttle actuator blocked off

im limited on money so depending on which is more vital ill be getting that first. my boost is a lil over 10 which is why i dont push the car just yet.

If you keep boost at 10 psi you will be ok with those mods. A $10 Home Depot MBC should do the job.

Yeah I'm getting a PFC soon too but I have an EBC already. Just wondering which one do I use to control boost as I've heard the PFC can be used too via the commander?

no you need to get an adapter for the pfc to control boost and its not worth it because i hear it isnt that great, get a ebc its worth the money.. i got my greddy type s for around 100$ less on ebay brand new 2 years ago..

but if you are going to stay at 10 psi get a pfc first.. its great to monitor and see whats happening with the car.

if you plan on running more than the stock psi, i'd just go with the pfc and get your fd tuned. no need for a boost controller then.

edit: oops sorry, didnt see that post^. well if hes right about the pfc then i'd suggest the same boost controller or the greddy profec b. there both easy to install and use.
