boost controllers r typically used for mitsu's, hondas, etc etc. its the cheap way of doing a chip to gain boost. where the only thing that matters is what you boost, and hey who cares if i run the risk of blowing my turbo or heads?
your much better off saving your coin for a chip. =) good move on removing it =)
i was thinking more of the lines of getting a junk yard one.

Then you have to find the nearest VW dealer and pay through the nose to get the ECU matched up with that VIN so the immobilizer doesn't stop you from using your car.
