We need to know a bit more about your car. Do you have the stock ecu? If so, then it's not recommended to increase the boost. You can increase boost without a boost controller by using boost jets. They're installed in the vacuum line that runs from the waste gates to the intercooler piping. Once again, it's not recommended unless you have an upgraded ecu.

As far as where to buy product, you CAN'T beat www.amzperformance.com prices and customer service! They make a great UD pulley which can had for a bit less than the unorthodox! Like Zringo said some people buy one from ebay for 50-60 bucks and it works out, but do you want to trust e-bay stuff with such an important part?? Its up to you...
Wow....I'm alittle confused by the above statement.
Now whos posting garbage?

You see *******, first off thanks for copy/pasting another one of my posts into this one! And there is a BIG difference between buying a boost controller off ebay and buying an underdrive pulley!!

When you buy a TURBOXS boost controller, you KNOW you are getting a boost controller made by turbo XS!! When you buy an underdrive pulley from ebay you have no idea where, or how, or who made it! And an underdrive pulley is a VERY important part, after all its directly connected to your crank which needs to be balanced, in turn your UD pulley has to be properly made and balanced! I never once said don't buy parts off ebay, I just said...and this is an exact quote..."but do you want to trust e-bay stuff with such an important part"!! So again, you made yourself sound like a fool, Zgringo go steer people in the wrong direction on a different forum please!!
