We have used the HKS controllers in the past. They are not very good at controlling boost with anything smaller then a GT gate.

I have one on my car. Took it to a shop and they did work (I assume they got something in the line (I didn't have a vacuum filter on the lines to the controller) and I'm assuming the actuator got stuck. We did a couple pulls and the thing wouldn't work at all. We took it out of the loop and wastegate worked. The guy said the hks was broke but I said B.S. It worked great before. So I took the lines off (that he routed between two points that could pinch off one line) and re-ran new line and wa-la. controller works again. I assume a line was pinched or cut (never found a cut) or something was in the line causing the controller to fail. In any event, I like the hks. That was with the HKS racing wastegate. I'm going with a bigger turbonetics racegate... will see how it works out then.
