Hey Dave,
My Sunny is at Mick Pizzi's at the moment and he said that the dual stage boost controller I got is fine. It's a turbosmart one with the manual adjustment and a toggle swicth to change from high to low boost.
Mick said they're a bit pointless because once you flick it over to high boost, it stays there

Yeh i had a dual stage in my gti/r and once you get the boost bug the low boost is non existant.

My personal fav is a AEM tru boost controller, I've had nothing but good experiences with these, and they double up as a gauge. The only down side is that the numbers are hard to read sometimes during the day. And did I mention how simple they are to change the boost on, hit the left button to lower the boost, and the right one to increase it. Just don't get out of hand or you'll be in real trouble.

Now the debate over what is better as far as manual VS electronic is never ending. Personally I like electronic, it's a little more work to install if you dislike electrical, but at the touch of a button you have control over your boost, and theres no guess work on what boost your going to be running. Manuals on the other hand work fine and can be made for under 20 bucks, most of the toyota MR2 guys use them at 15 PSI and just run that all day long. Just turn the boost up a little at a time when installing a MBC (manual boost controller)

Once the cars tuned to the max boost the car can run, theres is really no need for an expensive electronic boost controller really as long as you keep an eye on the air temp and watch for boost spike in the cold you shouldnt really need to touch it,
After all, thats why we pay the money to put it on the dyno......
Thats my 2 cents
