You can use a dawes manual boost controler although i wouldnt rewcomend it as ive heard of engines blowing. The safest was is an apexi power fc ecu although its a lot more expensive

There are so many ways... for less than £50 to several £ks. We'd need to know a little bit more info to make a constructive answer, i.e type/age of car, mods already done etc etc.

Dawes can be used to great effect, just need setting up correctly and not going stupid with the level of boost.

Quite afew mods there...suprised theres no boost controller?

though i would suggest the APexi AVcr...works wonders..i belive its near £200ish..unless your looking to cut corners then a manual boost controller would also do the job..

The apexi is great, and if your car is a MY99 you should be able to get an Ecutek map for it.

Imports generally don't respond well to manual boost controllers, get it done properly. It may cost you £750(ish) but a new engine will cost you 3 or 4x that amount.
