Expert Question about Manual Boost Controllers

The good thing is he lives nearby, races his own car professionally and learned to tune from Mike @ Extreme UK. We will first tune the car on the dyno, than test/fine tune it on the road. He said that if I have any problems, he can help me anytime...
I would love to get a ported/coated stock manifold and 10.5hotside, but again it would probably be too expensive and take too long to sent parts to the US and back. Dealing with customs would also be a ***** - and if I outsource it, it costs an arm and a leg (the shop wanted USD 315 for a megan o2 - I got the e-bay part for 98USD shipped to florida and will get a relative to bring it back)
With regards to the LICP, do you know which ones would fit the IX? I will ask the shop if I can just get the LICP from the HKS pipe kit seperately (he sells them as a kit). If I can afford it, I will get it. I might just have to wait till later and get a Bushur or AMS kit from the States if I can figure out a way though...
