You wont need an external boost controlller if you have an external wastegate. Start with low boost and eventualy raise to desired boost
I would read the info on AaronCakes post. He just did all the searching you will need.
If you dont understand the info on those links, I would highly recomend you seek profesional help.

A manual boost controller is just a spring loaded valve that opens at a certain pressure. You need to set that pressure by adjusting tension on the spring. Start low and gradually increase boost (by either tightening or loosening the spring, depending on the controller).
Will there be any required adjusting on the bolts of the external wastegate, the ones that connect to the manifold?
Or do I just control the boost with just the **** on the boost controller?

Is 550cc really good enough? I would of thought that 720 secondaries would have been a good plan. I would really hate to see a somewhat local FC blow up in a week.

As I have said in several previous posts in this thread, 4 x 550CC is the MINIMUM a person would want to run. And this depends on the turbo. The original poster STILL has not identified the turbo he is planning to run so all of this is a shot in the dark. Bigger turbos then stock require much more fuel. Without the OP providing this info, all advice given is essentially worthless. For all we know he has an OEM turbo off of another car which will probably require LESS fuel then the stock HT-18. Or he has some massive 2nd hand diesel monster and 4 x 1600CC might not be enough.
