Would a boost controller be feasible, or is there not enough adjustblity in the ecu to compensate for different levels of boost? It would be cool to crank down the boost level when You are trying to stretch out a tank of gas, then crank it up when you wanna play. Just thinking. If You already covered this, sorry about the rehash.
It is, and I have one on now. Truth be told, though, is that the real boost controller is attached to your right hand.

If you want to make a tank stretch, you just stay out of the turbine (keep the tach below 6k and big throttle openings). The difference in gas milage when you do that is pretty much negligible. I get this sort of mileage on my N/A ZX10R.

That said, the rising rate regulator would pretty much even the fueling out if you changed boost levels. You can't turn it up much higher than 8psi (9-10 MAX) as it is starting to go over 80% duty cycle on the injectors... not something you want to do. If you turned the boost down, however, the FMU (rising rate regulator) wouldn't apply as much fuel pressure, and everything would work fine; the ECU need not be consented. The only issue with that is that you have to have a pretty wimpy wategate spring in the turbo itself (or wategate actuator) that will start to vent at the lower boost level. In a nutshell, you can only use a boost controller to make more boost, not less. It wouldn't be difficult at all to run a 5PSI wastegate spring, and then use a controller to go up from there. I'm running a 7psi spring now and using the controller to get to 8(ish)psi.
Now, if you just lay into it all the time, WTFO, hair on fire, 130+ all the time, it may get itno the low 20's, high teens. But you probably wouldn't live long enough (or stay a free man) for it to matter.
