you could get a manual boost controller and greddy makes quality gauges for a good price.

I'd like to suggest an ECU reflash to take advantage of your mods. Cobb AccessECU is less expensive than EcuTek but both will work. You might want a custom tune if you elect to keep that CAI.

A reflash tailored to your mods is a safer way to go than just a boost controller and no engine management.

the boost gauge you should be able to find just about anywhere for $250. if you're getting a cobb AccessECU in 3 weeks, then why the MBC? you'll just have to take it off when you install the ECU.

I just installed my Autometer boost gauge and I love it. Plus, it was only like 50 bucks.

dude the boost gauge install is cake...Took a noob like me ~45min. from start to end....make sure you get a good fitting pod. I heard autometer makes the best fitting ones, but you'd have to paint it light gray to match the interior....I got a gaugepods.com pod and it fit "ok" not the best, but it was painted already. Scoobymods has many boost gauge installation directions.
