I say Boost pill. The boost pill is very easy to install and results are already out there.

Boost controllers are all different in the sense that it is a different boost solenoid or different build quality between each other. Electronic or Manual.

For 20 bucks you raise the boost that retains how the stock motor built boost.

you can get equal of better results by removing the stock boost pill (so there is none) and tuning.

I dont have one.

^ boost controller. the real beauty of the pill is that it allows you to have boost adjusted through the pcm which is the normal method of boost control in the car, and the pill just helps with the taper-down that is very prevalent with our small turbo.

for example, stock, my car was peaking around 17psi and tapering down to around 10psi, 7psi loss over the length of the gear after peak. with a tune and the pill, it now peaks around 22psi and only tapers to around 18, exact numbers show less than 4psi taper-down, meaning its much more stable and once full boost is achieved, it never drops down even to stock peak boost level, just keeps pulling and pulling...
