How about an APC unit from the older saab turbo cars. With some rigging... u can use it to electronic boost control... based off a knock sensor for safety. I'll try to find some of the old "homework" i did on using this years ago for an uber budget setup. Basically you use the saab apc brain, the solenoid and the knock sensor... then with some mods to some of the older APC boxes.... u can get better resolution and more boost outta them. Add an FPR into that setup... maybe a fuel pump from a different car... and u can start pumping it up.
