Electronic / Manual Boost Control

wakasaki940 · Jan 31st, 2011, 13:39

I've been running an MBC with fred's chip for a while now which I borrowed off a friend who has been looking for a new car to modify, and I'm giving him the stuff back now he has one. So i'm looking to buy the chip's and boost controller again and thought it would be cool to be able to adjust the boost pressure from the cabin. So my question is, would I be able to do one of the following...run pipes to a dash mounted boost controller like this...

or is it possible to attach an electronic boost controller like this...

I understand these are usually controlled by the ecu but would I be able to wire it to a 2 way switch to move it one way or the other permanently? I guess to run pipes to a manual controller in the cabin would cause laggy/inaccurate boost pressure? Any thoughts much appreciated!
