    Electronic. You can adjust boost directly from the cockpit + it has a variety of features... They're quite expensive though.

    electronic, cause if you buy a cheap manual boost controller you could get boost creep, which is no good.(unless you want the engine to blow up)

    Costs vary a lot depending on part and location. Go to a local tuning shop and ask them for specifications and prices.
