PFC or Boost controller

Alright so just got the turbos done non-seq and i just wanted some oppinions on what to do next. I was wondering if i should go with the PFC or get a boost controller next or maybe if someone has an idea of something else i should get. First im trying to get the reliability mods out of the way.....what would be the best mod to go for next? ideas?

Well if you are considering a boost controller, you SHOULD get the PFC first so you don't ruin your motor Or at least some sort of fuel management

Well what's the point in buying a boost controller if you're not going to change your boost setting????

if the price is the same, and you are staying with the twins, why not just get the PFC and use it to control boost?

There is no comparison here, the PFC will control boost, actually make power, help troubleshooting and be tunable for economy, more power, and better driveability. It's a slam dunk, get the PFC.

If you need help with anything just PM me, I'm in Houston.
