The boost controller is a device in a car which modifies the pressure reaching the wastegate actuator. The boost controller may be manual or electronic and the effect is to increase the energy of the car.

Easiest way is to get a Manual Boost controller. Something like a GFB MBC (Manual Boost controller) is a very easy way to raise the boost. (Google GFB) A Boost gauge is also mandatory if you raise the boost...otherwise you might turn it up to much and destroy the engine!

In most cases you use some type of manual boost controller between the waste-gate and a good boost source. Or you can use some type of electronic boost controller but this can be expensive.

If you are going to start tinkering with your boost levels this is what you need to do: Purchase the following: An accurate boost gauge. Electronic boost controller Fuel Pressure regulator Air Fuel Ratio gauge Wide band O2 sensor Have these parts PROFESSIONALLY installed and pay the money to get it tuned. If you just get a boost controller put on and give it a crank your fuel will lean out and your engine will detonate. Also it might not be a bad idea to get a fuel controller from Apexi. That will cost you though. So will the O2 sensor. You can get away without one, but you should just leave the boost alone after its tuned.
