it'll work for sure... but...
just see how your are running a very long vacuum/boost line. it will affect the "response" of your wastegate
this is definitely a cost effective controller that you can run from the inside

turbosmart replica made in china for sure...
it must be a bleeder type,
for a mbc i prefer the ball& spring type wich actually cut some lag

well, all mbc should be mounted under the hood, near the turbo be it a bleeder or a ball & spring type,
quick question, why would you wnat the boost controler inside the car? set it where you want and enjoy ;-)
or if you really want the "beaty" of 2 boost setting, use a regualr MBC and a solenoid to bypass it (high boost on the mbc,low boost when solenoid is energized)
here's a in car MBC, not cheap but they work very well

and here's a pic of the real MBC from wich the design was stolen

The ball and spring is definatly better than bleeding type, i have this one from PRD Boost controller its very cost effective and works wonders
If you really want an in car controller to adjust boost on the fly, you should definatly do it right. you should go with an electronic one like the apexi avc-r. This thing is sex, itll give you the ability to control the boost in the car and look damn good doing it, If this isnt in your price range, your not serious about boost control and should just go with a basic one
heres the link to the avc-r Apexi boost controller

ok.. so forget the in cabin boost controller idea..
like you guys said, it would be best in the bay so thats what i'm going for..
i'm lookin on ebay and these are the two i've narrowed down too..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Voodoo-II-M...041147428QQrdZ1
and
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MBC-Manual-...043059283QQrdZ1
both of these are ball and spring type which are good.. so which one should i get?
i know they are both lower end ones but i don't see how much better a name brand one can get so i just want one that does the job..
