boost controllers are always nice, that way u can run less boost for daily driving, and turn it up for racing.

I would definately suggest better management in the future.. IMHO the hack should only be used as a temporary solution. Thats my opinion.

I wouldnt run anymore boost till u get some dyno or atleast wideband tuning.

8.2.1 compression thats way too low imo. Any reason for that. Your throttle response, spool, and #'s will suffer. I owudlnt run the hack, it seems as if you r doing a budget setup, which is fine, but dont cheap out on the fuel management, its the key to reliability and power
