Haha...no worry b. I'm just going to re-do downpipe/exhaust and my suspension (thinking of going with Tanabe Pro-Sustec SS coilovers). 
If I continue to go "drag race crazy" then maybe boost controller later on...so hold that STi scoop for me...

Russ: I might be soon once I get my exhaust done. But it won't be for a while. How are them Tanabe Sustecs? They are a pretty good deal for coilovers and I've been eyeing on them for a while.

Russ,
I have a manual boost controller if you want to play with it. It's easy to install / de-install and once adjusted properly it does a pretty good job. It's the Dawes Device contoller that came with Vishnu Stage 0. I'll bring it to the next AutoX.

The Tanabe coilovers are a mystery. I can't find any good or bad reviews. I do like the soft 6kg/4kg spring rates they offer with pillows and camber plates & the adjustment dial for the rears are at the bottom of the strut similar to KYB/AGX. I dunno...Tim, thanks for the boost controller offer, but I'm gonna have to go with an electronic B/C unit cause I'm paranoid beyond belief!
Who are you and what have you done with Richard?

Heheheh. Sorry.
What is it that makes you paranoid about running a MBC, and what about an EBC is different that makes you less paranoid about running it?
From one word, to a run-on sentence/paragraph/post!

Hey Richard, I been brainwashed that the electronic controllers can keep better monitoring of boost spikes (?) and stuff that hate motors...I like the Blitz SBC-ID V2. Any thoughts...? Thanks.

I don't see very much spiking at all with my JoeP MBC. I'm still running it even though I have the UTEC's boost control available to me... That's a good testimonial. 
The EBC's look VERY cool, have "tuner cachet" and are cockpit-adjustable. Those are their main advantages. Oh, and they suck the money magically out of your wallet as well.

Oh, if I had a large surplus of cash in the bank and was in the mood for interior bling I would buy the SBC-ID V2 also.
