manual boost controller

If you're running a Down Pipe with an internal puck & have not touched the original size of the factory wastegate hole on the exhaust housing....I bet you're experiencing overboost / boost spike issues with your DBB turbo?

I know I did with mine. Had to open up the hole in the exhaust housing, matching it to my puck, making sure I had at least 1/8" sealing around the hole on the exhaust housing. Also radius the inside edge of the hole . Hole size was .090" as delivered from Precision.....opened it up to 1.1" as the puck size on my THDP was 1.5" so it left lots of contact area for the puck to seal.
No more overboost / spiking for me now!

I've got this one going on in the springtime.

What manual boost controllers do you guys like the best. I have a 6262 turbo with hd actuator and now I need a boost controller.
Here was what I had seen but what do you guys run

Here's the one I upgraded to and it only varies about 1/2 psi at 29psi of boost on my car:

I use the first one. I have had boost spike issues with ball and spring type deals. They did improve spool but the spikes took time to resolve. With the bleed valve it goes there and stops. Radius the hole like mentioned and porting it to the 1/8th inch seal or a little thicker is a great idea while its apart. The whole is not dead center to the puck on the downpipe. I smear a light film of anti-seize on the puck and bolt it to the turbo. Then contact the puck to the turbo to transfer the print. Pull it back apart and trace it with a scribe or something sharp. Then you can port the hole. Boost control should be good then. I put a Precision billet 5858 on a car and the lowest it will go is 20psi with a std. actuator. It stays there.
 
I use a Hallman Pro RX Boost Controller - very, very, precise control of the boost and stays very steady. I use it on my 5857 and a friend uses it with a 5858 turbo with no issues of dialing in boost precisely where we want it.

I'm not sure if any of our vendors carry this one out not. I have the black one and it looks very nice in the engine bay.

I made my own! Holds boost rock solid at 26ish PSI. No fluctuations or anything. The hole on my exhaust housing was ported though, so that could be an issue for you.
