dual boost controller will not atribute to a gain in power, what gives you the gain in power is the capability of having 2 boost limits selected.

EX: stage one may be 8psi and stage two may be 15psi. That jump would be much more than just 10-20whp. from your signature i see that your car seems to be completely built so something like this might allow you to drive daily and have a 300hp street car and then change to a different stage and that setting will be 15psi and you will be near 400whp(???)

True but the boost controller itself does not give you the horsepower! It will help increase spool times by leaving the waste gate shut until the right psi is reached, then the wastegate opens, so there is no bleeding off boost! Make sure you get a ball and spring, and not a "bleeder" type boost controller, which the TXS DS BC is( haha sorry for the abbr. ) dont know about the Stage 1 though?

i just installed the turboxs dual stage boost controller 2 weeks ago. So far it is working good with no boost spikes. The only thing is the difference between night and day. During the day, my second stage is set at +.59kpa. At night due to the colder weather it goes up to +.67kpa. Just fyi
