Go to Speedtech and talk to someone there. I'm sure they will be happy to order something for you and make some profit from it. Or you could just order it yourself and save some money.
If you are confident about installing it yourself, check out this boost controller:

Very inexpensive, and it works great.

Manual boost controller are ghetto. Buy a good quality electronic boost controller so you don't have to fight boost spike.

If you defeat the factory boost controller by unhookin the wastegate line, the ECU will pick up a fault and throw you to limp mode, we use a manual controller but have also changed a LOT more on the car.

PM me for more detailed information or solutions
