No they don't.

Although it may seem to make sense, they actually plumb in to totally different parts of the car.

more money you have to spend. i like the extra boost with the manuel boost controller but the boost is not really consistent always moving. i want a electronic one but do not know which one. what do u say to get. i do not want to spend alot of money but i want a good one. and do u know how to get the first turbo to spool up higher. the manuel one only connects into the one waste gate which spools up the second turbo.

Personally I have a preference for Blitz boost controllers as that's what I actually have. Find them quite easy to install, setup and use.

You should be able to find some decent used ones on Ebay if you want to try and keep costs down.

There is a way of increasing boost on the first turbo as well, but i'm not sure whether details have ever been posted on here. Its a similar thing by fitting something like a bleed valve or other controller inline with that turbos wastegate.

i'm looking into this too as my car boosts to high in cold weather but i'm not sure which one to get, a price to pay (not over the top), also do they need setting up, are they easy to install, which one to get? and is there any special one i need as the car has the standard two turbo set up?

anyhelp would be great steve

p.s. sorry to hijack the thread but i'm sure there are a few people who would like to know about these

Steve, can you remind us what mods you currently have (sorry getting old and I forget).

They do need some setting up, but they're not really that hard, and i'm sure we can help
