Manual Boost controller or New wastegate spring?

I am debating this now. I ordered a POS manual boost controller and it will not go below 10-12 PSI.

I want 7-8 PSI up from the 5 PSI I am seeing now.

If I get the 9 PSI spring that should do me.

What I am MOSTLY concered about is boost creep. I am about to go to the 8:1 FMU and if I boost more than 8 PSI I might have a serious problem.

I am looking at an Air Tool controller as my boost controller, the rx7 guys dig them

Just curious what the general opinon is??


And the price is $15 for both

get both so you can get a minimum of 9psi with the spring and then use the boost controller to turn it up from there.

If you're worried about boost creep, you need to be thinking more about the flow rate of the turbo and/or the size of the wastegate....and less about the actual controller.

Very good Engloid, but with running/staying under 10 psi, that is not much of an issue. With the current market of wastegates and their high-performance orientation, this is not a problem, especially with Bags running a Deltagate wastegate. He just needs a GOOD controller to control what boost he does have lol. And also, with that low of a psi setting, if boost creep were to occur, it may spike at MOST 1-2 psi above the current setting, which is WELL in the safe zone for our engines.......
