A manual boost controller is more accurate. but you will have to tune your car if you get it. i recommend you getting a turbo back exhaust, engine management (accessport, ecutek, or utec), then get a boost controller and tune.

A boost controller is useless on this car, especially for a stock turbo. The ECU can be programed (tuned) to control the boost in a much smoother and precise way, in essence it is an electric boost controller. I would recommend you talk to a local tuning shop like GST Motorsports or research Open ECU tools.
