Default Need chip work in PDX area

I have some unknown chips in my car and it's capable of putting out around 25 psi( I've turned it down to 13 to save my HG.

I have a manual boost controller, and really want to have better boost control and make sure the fuel curve is good, as I've been through one head gasket this summer.

I turn a wrench sometimes myself, and know enough to be dangerous. I want to make sure my set up is correct. Any recomendations / experiences?

what modifications do you have. I would reccomend to start with a wideband o2.

I got the car in pieces so I removed the webcam, it's chipped and has manual boost controller, and test pipe.
I had thought about adding an Apexi boost controller to monitor A/F mix and maximize boost with some protection. Or adding A fuel controller to keep the A/F mix optimized to a higher boost level. I thought that I should find out what I've got then go from there.

As I understand both of the systems would require a wideband O2.
Any thoughts on the boost controller vs fuel controller?

boost controller vs. fuel controller? there's really no comparison....

i'd say keep the mbc, get a wideband sensor and a piggyback computer like the smt6 for tuning the a/f ratio

Beautiful the smt6 looks like an excellent solution.
