I have to say that I am a great believer in Boost Controller's, but I suspect in this case that there is anothe reason for the boost control problems that your tuner is having.
There is a common misconception that a Boost Controller will work miracles. It won't.
I run a 24psi actuator on mine (consider that a -34 is around 15psi) as that is the only way we have been able to control a fairly stable 30psi.

I agree. It sounds strange that it's because you need an electronic boost controller. However I can suggest you Blitz DSBC. I've got one on my RST. It's great. It has got 4 different pre-set settings which you can adjust to your needs. It has also more functions to eliminate boost spikes and lag... which I haven't yet tested because I'm still doing my engine running-in after re-building it ![Raz](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
By the way can anybody tell how many miles do I need to make engine running-in after a full engine re-build? Thanks

Sean, I haven't split hairs with boost delivery, I am more worried about making high boost numbers reliably and that is the reason for going for a harsh actuator.
My controller is a Blitz SBC I-Color and I am pleased with it. The SBC-ID range are just as good from a control point-of-view as they use the same dual solenoid system.
Peeps on here do tend to like E-Boost though, so there's that option if you want to follow the masses!!![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Incidentally, a 24psi Actuator will usually result in a lower low boost setting than that, but I haven't had much of a chance to analyse that as I fitted only a short while before the Thrash and the car still isn't fixed!!
I have still had to use high duty numbers in the controller to make 30psi.
