If you don't plan on having different boost settings, a good manual boost controller can handle a lot of what you're looking for. You don't get a lot of cool stuff, but they almost never fail and they're very cheap for quality units.

Very true. I am alos looking at having a manual boost controller go out with the kit. It is simple, and does the job. Probably only a $120 option.

I'm using a TurboXS manual unit, and I'm perfectly happy. Cost me $99 and works like a charm.

Thanks, I wanted to know your point of view so thanks guys, you have confirmed my doubts about open westgates, I'm going to have the recirculated as I previously disscused that with Sasha.

If you have some thougts about what else should I think about with this awsome kit feel free to share.

I'm going to choose Apexi avcr boost controller, heard that they do the job perfectly. I imagine that it is a must to limit the boost at first two gears.

First gear is kind of self-limiting in that since the engine doesn't really see enough load to hit full boost. You'll break the tires loose first. In second gear my tires break loose at wastegate pressure, so no boost controller is going to help too much there. Just go ahead and get rid of the idea that there's any traction in first and second.

You beat me to it. I haven't even tried to go full throttle yet and still have traction problems in the first 2 gears

I'm starting to think a good old fashion manual boost controller might be the way to go after all. I'm trying to see if I can find one local today before my tune tomorrow. If not, I may just toss in the 10psi springs as Sasha suggested.

When it's cold out, first is a 1/4 throttle gear. Second will allow 1/3 throttle before the tires break loose. You either baby it through the top of second or short shift into third and go WOT.

That sounds pretty much spot on. It's going to take some finesse to put the power down.

And most of third...

I'm on Michelin PSS 305's
