Boost controller?

Would I be better off to run a boost controller if the car is strictly drag? If so what are some good ones to choose from?

If this if for draging I would look into the EBOOST2 controller. Its an electronic boost controller and it has alot of nice features. Things like selecting a boost level based on rpm, gear selection, or time. It also helps keep the wastegate closed instead of just keeping the boost reference from getting to the gate.

Also having an electronic boost controller will help with quick and easy adjustments if you end up getting to a track that isn't properly prepped.

Download and read through the manual.

Either of the above ideas are good. I have the cheapo ebay $5 one and its kind of crappy. I can run more boost than my spring is rated for, but its never reliable, I see different boost levels fairly regularly.
