Ehh, I have purge solenoids too, but I wouldnt mind a duty cycle type EBC, not a EMBC that the PCS setup is. Basically looking for a megasquirt type boost control, without the ECU attached.

Re: Looking for a EBC controller, have a box full of solenoids.
The problem is the EBC is the majority of the price, not the boost solenoid. There is also virtually zero EBC's that are cheaper w/o the solenoid, because rarely do they expect anyone to have a working solenoid by itself.
The other issue is what a stand-alone EBC needs to work. It needs to sense at the very least RPM, boost, and speed. You won't find something with $10 in parts that can do all that.
IMO your best bet is to rig them up like the PCS writeup, they'll work the same. Then you could make a complicated switch system for the shift lever. The easiest way would be to use the shifter as a contact, and set up other contacts in whatever spot it engauges a gear. HMT gear-based boost control.
