Yeah, I got one too, wanted to put it on my '06, but life has been too busy to get after it. Shure would be nice to get a plug and play controller for it. There are a few people that rigged it up with small pnumatic cylinders to control it. I have a small cylinder I was going to modify so that it would work the same way as a wastegate actuator, but using a elctric three way valve you could also have the exhaust brake function too. The only thing is that you would need to have onboard air to operate it. i really do have to get around to getting it set up, just too many other things on the go right now.

Fleece is supposed to be coming out with a plug-and-play controller for the VP trucks for sure-I assume the earlier CR trucks as well? Think they are working on one for the 12 valve trucks as well.

Rob, does all the electronic stuff work? Usually the electrical stuff is all burnt out. That's why typically they are so cheap. I would use a wastegate boost actuvator and a relay to run the e-brake. No electronics to worry about failing. Which truck you going to put it onto? Should be a sweet set-up, keep us posted on how it works out for you.

Some dealers have piles of them. Just gotta find the right one.
Most are fine, just sooted up. Some do have torched electronics.

I have two sitting here...for science.

Off topic but I am in the search for a full set of six 6.7 injectors...from a wreck or a blown engine. Hard to find and not cheap either.
