Two tooootally separate questions there. As I said in your last thread about intakes...read. There's a veritable assload of threads on intake on this forum. When it comes to intakes if it can be asked, it has been asked and answered.

Boost controllers simply control the wastegate pressure. They use solenoids to determine the open position and therefore boost pressure. Gonna move this to general though since it covers two questions.
