Manual Boost Controller (acquired one)

Well, this weekend I got to try a manual boost controller. I still have the stock turbo and run my Smarty on #7. The HX-35 would get to about 20 psi max in stock form or with the Smarty on #7. Put the boost controller (thanks RJohnson

) on Saturday and now max boost (again on s/w #7) is about 31 psi

Smoke clears a little faster now

and truck seems to be a little quicker going by my (non-calibrated) seat o' the pants meter.
Very happy with it.

EDIT: just saw this on one of the pages in the tech article above and thought it was pretty appropriate to this site in general
