Default boost controller vs chip

what would the downside be getting a boost controller over a chip. chip basically amps up ur boost and fuel right??. cant u just get a boost controller and change ur fueling a different way? or is it better to get a chip, and run a boost controller on that???

sorry, still kinda noobish comin to this stuff...

maybe a boost controller and bigger injectors or a FPR would work or something no? run the boost to like 12-14 or something. then when i get chipped, id be running that psi "stock", and then use a boost controller to change it to maybe 18-20?

help! lol, so confused [>:]

boost controller just boosts the PSI on ur turbo

chip ups the PSI and changes the timing, fuel injection, etc on the engine

.... i believe...

yea i think it mite adjust A/F too, not sure

i guess it would be smarter to chip, and then run a boost controller on that?

well far as i know, a chip will give u like the most 14-15 psi. so a boost controller would allow u to easily adjust ur boost up/down, without having to adjust a controller in ur engine bay. i kno there is the twist kind, but then u would have to pop ur hood to do it, this way its on the fly, and u can adjust while ur inside the car. i unno sounds better/easier to me, could be wrong tho
