OR you can just turn a knob on your electronic boost
controller and do the same thing.

Granted, I did spend 600 beans on this HKS EVC V, but
I can have two separate boost profiles, "scramble
mode", adjust according to octane, play with a curve,
etc...plus it's a handy dandy boost gauge, too.  And
it's fun to be at WOT on low boost and have your
passengers thinking they're going fast, then switching
to high boost, pushing them further back in their
seats.

Comes in handy when they have a habit of changing the
radio station.  

=P
