[s-cars] Cheapest boost controller evar!

[Gabriel Caldwell]

I agree, but this guy is in college and he did the swap himself on a
tight budget.  $20 for 240hp out of a 200 engine isn't a bad deal in his
eyes.  Compared to $500 or so for a real chip.  I would never do it, but
I thought it was pure genius to use the signal for the trip computer
boost gauge as a boost controller.

And a copy of my own reply to that post:

your boost controller will only give you more boost, but what about
timing 
and fuel??? wanna start messing with resistors on the intake temp
sensor, huh?

I guess you'll get around 240HP (if ever) with that sort of mod and run 
incorrect fuelling at WOT, with a proper chip you could have around
270-280 
HP, that would be safe and the ECU would still be in control of
things...

Just my 0.02 worth of 20VT engines tuning (I do that for a living),
