Yes, The various contollers on the market are pricey (Apex-i, Blitz, HKS), but if you're serious about improving the performance of your car, there really is no substitute for doing it the "right" way. Not to start a war on the subject, but most people do not know how to properly tune a manual boost controller. An electronic one is much safer to use in that it will compensate for variations in gasoline, air temp, elevation, boost spikes, etc., which can allow even a properly tuned manual controller to let a car run lean @ full boost. If that happens, I think the extra $300 one could have spent on an EBC is going to seem alot cheaper then a full rebuild :)

Then again, if you're only looking to add a point or two of boost, then the Dawes deal might work for you. I just assume that you're like me, in that if there's any fraction of boost left (> 14/15 psi) that your car can handle safely, you want it but you'd rather not blow your motor trying to find it!
