Default you have no need for a manual boost controller
As far as I know, the only people who *need* a boost controller are running RS4 intercoolers and want to control boost spikes. The only other reason I can think of to run one (in your situation at least) is if you want to turn down the boost a bit from your chip.

Search the archives, this has been discussed before.

Default but what if you had a chip that didnt make as much boost as the others and.............
you want to turn it up at times, Or do all chips make about the same boost?

Default running an MBC will not increase the requested boost
unless there is some way of hooking it up of which I am unaware.

Default Yes, there is a way you're unaware of.
Simply replace the N75 with a MBC, and dial to your prefrence. However, watch out for lean conditions =-X

Default I would really consider a chip with all the proper tuning. Most should not be messing with their
boost.
