Default I never want to overboost again!

It's happened way too many times. Would you go with a manual or electronic boost controller to better prevent this? From what I understand, electronic is better. Also, any other tips/suggestions to prevent overboosting would be greatly appreciated. I can't blow another motor

your internal wastegate should work fine if its setup right,.

Why is it, that you are boost creeping? Also, electronic boost controllers have electrical solenoids, and they require maintenance, and care. A manual boost controller is a simple mechanical device, and if you get a quality one, you should have problems...

I found this site the other day, and It was easy enought to remember: http://www.boostcontrollers.com
