you have no need for a manual boost controller

As far as I know, the only people who *need* a boost controller are running RS4 intercoolers and want to control boost spikes. The only other reason I can think of to run one (in your situation at least) is if you want to turn down the boost a bit from your chip.

Search the archives, this has been discussed before.

running an MBC will not increase the requested boost

unless there is some way of hooking it up of which I am unaware.

Yes, there is a way you're unaware of.

Simply replace the N75 with a MBC, and dial to your prefrence. However, watch out for lean conditions =-X

I would really consider a chip with all the proper tuning. Most should not be messing with their

boost.
