Get an electronic Boost controller. You will be able to take it as low as factory and as high as your turbo will let you. (bang)
I think the Greddy Profecs are quite good.

Personally I wouldn't bother. With those mods you are going to be pretty close to boost cut (1 bar) anyway and much more than that is going to be making a lot more heat which can lead to detonation and bad things happening.
BTW pm'd you.

buy a fuel cut defender or a boost defender and that will cut that limit out with the computer and more boost (only a few more psi) then bang bang with the turbos

I now agree, I wouldnt bother until you can handle the higher boost including the FCD.
If you already have a larger intercooler, consider water injection or a improved tubos/turbo to ward off pinging and then up the boost. or bang

but since he is not doing that......
the HKS EVC i was looking at the other day has 2 settings, one is set for below 1bar, and the other below 2bar...
the dual valve ones look nicer in terms of control, but the only reason you would want one is to keep the wastegate closed for longer..
the latest shiny ones map boost vs rpm and TPS and some can have different settings for different gears...
fuck the boost cut defender, just run it on the stock ECU with EBC that keeps wastgate closed until you can afford/want to go aftermarket ECU....

i can teach you how to fuck your engine without spending money to do it...here goes....drain ur oil...radiator and intercooler fluid(if applicable), drain ur gearbox and diff, since ur radiator now has no coolant in it u dont need the fans...so sell them...then head out to a track day

best boost controller is no doubt the e-boost. however i run gizzmo its a new zeland brand its only new, i find it works like a treat and they are still reasonably cheap.

eboost seems to be pretty good from what i have heard, electronic management is going to be more advanced and have better control.
on autospeed they have refined a boost controller kit over a few tests and it is pretty awesome, now it works really well and costs around $100 diy.

I am suprised hiperboost has not recieved a mention here,they work well,last well,set and forget.I reckon they are great.You can keep your wastegate 100% closed until your boost target is reached.so your desired power level is there more quickly.
