Um...

Boost controller is used to ... guess? Control BOOST.

How many Hyundais in your country come with boost? You know, like a turbocharger?

If I'm not mistaken, the term "amount of boost" is used to describe the PSI that a turbocharger on a vehicle is running at... Example would be I have a turbo running 9 PSI of boost.. or something like that. Therefore, unless you have a turbo, you really don't have any boost to control with a boost controller smile.gif

You need to read up on turbo kits. Please use the search function to search for 'Turbo'

To get a turbocharger for your car is between US$2500 and $5000, depending on what you go for and how much you do yourself. Your car will be off the road for as short as 3 days, given top notch experts working long hours, to a month, given an 'average' mechanic to work on it.

This is not an easy modification by any means, and should not be done without a lot of preparation and research.
