You could just add a boost controller, and not a wastegate. If you buy an agp wategate however, it is adjustable so you will not need a boost controller, and you can set up the vacuum lines so the computer can't control the boost.

You can just add a boost controller, but you won't see much gain. The reason is the stock WGA has a very weak spring and will not hold much more than stock boost levels. Even the AGP is somewhat limited in this respect and a stronger spring for it is offered by PT Performance ( find on SRT Forums.com) in the Seattle area (Covington Wa.). If you are really strapped for cash a 'spring mod' (external spring attached to WGA arm ) will help.
