Go to "catalog" "turbo and accessories" "T3" and go to the bottom of the page.

Part# 30326 at the bottom of the page.

You could use your wastegate youhave now, but it sounds like it is a bit too big for your setup. With the boost controller you can add psi, but not take it away. If you buy this part you can hold the wastegate closed and turn the boost controller up to 7 psi or whatever you want and be at full boost at 3000rpm all the way to redline.

Hey,
if I hold the wastegate closed, won't the turbo just spool up to 14psi or whatever the factory spec is for the turbo setting? I won't be able to lower the boost with the boost controller, so how will I dial in 7psi if the wastegate is staying shut? Thanks

Also, I think I'm running too rich because the plugs seem to keep fouling, can I just run one check valve on the vaccuum line to the FMU so it'll bleed off a little pressure making the FMU think the car isn't boosting enough and therefore not let as much fuel stay in the rail? If that makes sense.... thanks
