Is anyone out there running the Turboxs Dual-Stage boost Controller? "Vosko" turned me on to their web site and it looks like just what I've been looking for. Low boost for just driving around, then switch to high boost for when that muscle car next to you thinks his V-8 is king!

'87 Turbo II (j-spec)

Haltech E6K

3" exhaust

It seems pretty good, but you may want to try an air compressor regulator from Home Depot with two hose end fittings. You won't have the ability to switch between 2 settings, but it will only cost about $10 with the fittings. It works pretty well.

There are some better valves, but they cost a little more.
