Jason_L,sorry, I'm new at this. What's an MBC and what does it take to install?
Manual Boost Controller.. it delays the opening of the waste gate, letting the turbo build higher boost. Basicly you just splice them into the "vacuum line" (they're actually pressurized) running to the waste gate actuator.

With a MBC, you don't really need stage 1 since you have an 2004. You already have the injectors needed to get you up to 17-18 psi, which is a HUGE increase in HP. If you have a manual though, the S1 has some other shifting related logic as well.

So:
MBC: $5 - $75
intake: 100 - 200
exhaust: 300 - 500
