I am trying to find out if you can use a boost controller on an S4, or is the only "easy" way to up the boost is a chip?

Default Well since the internal wastegate is electonically controlled by the computer...

You've already got two VERY big strikes against you.

I'm sure it's possible, but it would take more engineering than it's worth to go just as fast with a reprogramed ECU.

Default who cares about JUST boost?, when you can get spark,fuel and boost?

since a typical new EBC, costs almost $500

and an MBC, is just going to cause you trouble, like limp mode
