boost controllers 700

A hose 'T' and a short section of vacuum line is by far the cheapest boost control you can buy. I bought my 'boost control' for my 244ti for about $2. Just cut the hose going between the turbo outlet and the wastegate actuator, insert the T with the bottom part of the T on the wastegate actuator side, one top side of the T in the turbo outlet side, and the extra length of hose in the other top side of the T. Then just test it out by driving around in 4th gear, running full throttle to check boost level, then cut off 3" of the hose at a time until you get the desired boost level. It's worked fine for me once I figured it out.
