manual boost controller 700

I recommend you spend about $80 for a manual boost controller (aka g-valve, aka Dawes Device) and a calibrated boost gauge. If properly installed (easy!), the boost controller will get you deeper into boost, much more quickly, even if you keep the maximum level at the stock setting (~7.5 psi).

Be sure to take care of any mechanical issues your brick might have before you start playing with boost.

Here's an old thread with photos of my setup, and good info from other folks here.
