So Im looking around to trying to find a write up on how to install a manual boost controller and turbo timer and Im having no luck. I was thinking of getting a Turbo XS manual boost controller and a GReddy turbo timer. Any suggestions on better ones?

they should both come with instructions, the MBC is pretty simple, you disconect the line going to the wastegate actuator and out the MBC inline, be sure you have a good boost gauge and turn up the boost SLOWLY! unless you have an intercooler stay at or below 10 psi!, if oyu get greedy there si a good chance you will ruin your motor!

and I find that turbo timers cause more problems than they solve, just be sure your car has a chance to idle a bit after lots of boosting

also if you plan to up the boost a recirc valve will help your turbo survive the higher pressure compressor surge
