Boost controllers are $5 Home Depot jobs with fancy names and $100 price tags. Make one.

Turbo timers are all the same, unless you want some useless fancy thing that shows O2 volts and whatever. My old style GReddy works fine.

I presume you know that they are 2 different things :burnout:

I am sure your pops would appreciate a turbo timer vs. a boost controller  
most boost controllers can be had for like 25-50 bux for the MBC (manual boost controllers) the electronic ones are usually 200+ used

a turbo timer you can have for about 50 bux

figure out what you want to give him and your price range…
