Boosted Performance round 2 list

For reference I'm running 7.25 PSI wastegate pressure. You can theoretically run an EBC at double so on a stock block BP kit, you don't really want to run less than a 6PSI spring. Even at 6 PSI, you will need some sort of control, rather it be human or electronic. It can actually be managed pretty well with the throttle once you get used to the car. The kit has a great feel to it and the boost is very predictable.

My setup is far from ideal at the moment. Hankook V12s 305/30/19 at ~-2.5 degrees camber. The plan is to get a camber kit ordered and stuff some 335 RE-11's in there with as little camber as possible. But I'm definitely interested in any other suggestions.

The boost controller will only let you run up to a 100% duty cycle. So for a 4.5 PSI wastegate spring, you would only be able to run 9 PSI max (100% duty cycle) whereas a 6 PSI wastegate spring you could run up to 12 PSI.

Ninja edit: Just realized you are going to run a manual boost controller. Disregard all of that ^ it doesn't apply to you.

Now here's to hoping it won't be useless power considering us G guys are bascially limited to 285 out back.
