Boost controller is actually a regulator that bleeds pressure out of a line that goes to the wastegate. The wastegate has a set spring which controls how much boost you make. If you bleed off the pressure to this spring it then takes more pressure to open meaning more boost. Boost is determined by how much you bleed off the line. The more you bleed the more you raise boost. There are specific things that are involved in this to prevent turbo lag or late boost and boost creeping or slow rising boost. These things come with the boost controller. Hope this helps you out!
