Nice I thought about actually mounting it inside the car....so I dont have to open hood....can adjust it on the fly while driving

Yep. I wonder though, how often are you really going to be adjusting it? Just set it and forget it. That's just my KISS approach though.

I run a hallman pro also, make sure you have the right sprig inside the controller

Ryan, another option for a manual boost controller is the turbo xs two stage boost controller. it's a little more then a regular manual controller but it has 2 stages low boost and high boost and you can change it on the fly with a toggle switch. My buddy had one on his wrx and it was pretty awesome running low boost and then flipping the switch it was kind of like using nitrous.

You don't have a boost gauge? Definitely throw that at the top of your list if you don't.

Engine bay looks great. Ever thought of tucking that little wire ducting that runs along the passenger side fender area? Can be hidden in the wheel well really easy.
