youll want to to maximize power. youll want something that will allow you to control boost per gear and per rpm. if not you wont full boost until 3rd and may have creep in 5th. i researched and tried to find every around dropping that kind of money on a boost controller and its just not possible. check any quick suby with upgraded turbo, they will have a real boost controller. you dont want to spend all that money and not have access to all your boost

also while you have the turbo off the car, tighten the wastegate down as much as possible. FP doesnt send them out too tight. the tighter it is, the stronger it will boost.

no prob man, its a BIG PITA to do it while the turbo is on the car. tighten the hell out of it. most people say they get about 8 turns out of it. i got 6 out of mine and going to try and tighten more
