Yes, and a AIV cotroller I believe. You don’t want to use either… This boost controller just stops you from having fun in the lower gears (1st, 2nd, and 3rd I believe) by limiting the boost in those gears way below the max boost. The wastegate controls the maximum boost if you wnat to control it by a useful boost controller you’ll be increasing the boost, not decreasing it.

So if this boost controller limits my fun, i guess i have to get rid of it.  
but in the mean time, what do i do with it? especially with the dial, i’ve been playing with it and now i dont know what the setting wil be, anything i can do?
