manual boost controller
I want to get a boost controller for my car with stock twins and a full three inch exhaust, fuel upgrade, larger intercooler, cold air induction, and boost and air/fuel gauges. My question is I will be getting a power fc in the next month but I want to be driving it now without having to worry about boost spiking, what manual boost controller do I need and how hard are they to install. I don't think it is that hard and do name brands make a difference? Thanks for any help.

you can do a search for "boost controllers and manual" to get the info that you need.
if you advance search for the user name "damian"...and "boost controller" you can see his excellent write-up.

The boost controller(s) should control any boost spikes, but you will still have to worry about boost creep. Personally, I am running a full 3" open exhaust and an open intake with dual hallman pro-RX's and I do not get any boost creep, even on cold nights. For many other people it has been a different story...

You could try controlling boost with the pfc before spending money on a boost controller. It might require using a larger wastegate line pill

Anybody have trouble with the boost level fluctuating with outside temperatures? I installed the damian style boost controller using joe-p's and found that I lost 1psi recently when the outside temps were up above 90.

Boost controller for under $10. I works very well, just don't install the pre-spool controller .

If the system is maxed out then I shouldn't be able to correct the boost by adjusting the wastegate controller right? I'll have to try that one of these nights. I'm currently getting about 9 psi instead of the usual 10 psi, I'd be fairly surprised if a system with intake, dp, and cb can't produce at least 10psi.
I'm guessing that I should be able to give the wastegate controller a couple twists and have it back at 10psi. Although I may end up taking blame for this since I also changed my heat shield and radiator the other night, its vaguely possible my new huge radiator and ducting + the new heat shield has reduced intake efficiency.
