what do i need?
I say Boost pill. The boost pill is very easy to install and results are already out there.
Boost controllers are all different in the sense that it is a different boost solenoid or different build quality between each other. Electronic or Manual.
For 20 bucks you raise the boost that retains how the stock motor built boost.
