keep the cat for one. The Profec is the easiest to use boost controller. If you're feeling brave, the AVC-R works well. If you're going el-cheapo www.robrobinette.com has the home depot manual controller how to.

Backpressure from a cat is the best way. The factory ECU can control boost very well. PFC also has great boost control for stock twins and the PFS purple.
