Manual boost controllers can be had for cheap (a few dozen dollars). I've also heard of some people DIY'ing MBC's from supplies at Homo Depot (sorry, I hate that place

). I would suggest an electronic boost controller if you want to fiddle around and find peak boost for maximum power (get one with an integrated boost gauge too!).
I've also heard horror stories about the stock TD04 suddenly spiking to 21 psi for no apparent reason, but can't remember why...
