i made mine... you have to get out of the car to change the boost but its easier than using the rod on the actuator...

another good option is the one made by turboxs...i got the standard boost controller, which is adjusted from under the hood with an allen key...their dual stage controller is operated from within the car and comes with a switch that switches it from two settings...i.e 8 lbs daily and 12 for the track...standard boost controller is 80 bucks, dual is like 130-150 i think,maybe more.

Cant you get a digital boost controller? It seems to me something like that would be... a lot easier.

That is an excellent idea, something to control boost within the car. I am not going to lie, there are sometimes people mess with me on the street and it would be a pain in the *** to have to get out of your car and switch it. I just want to BAM kick it up and floor it and say good bye.
