They used to make a controller that hoked into the turbo solenoid and had a dial mounted in the cab to control the turbo. I can't remember who made it and if they still do.

Them are the ones. Guess I'm glad I didn't buy one years ago when I was looking at them.

I made a manual boost controller for my 94 out of a spring and an eyebolt, then fabbed up a mount where the stock vaccum controller was. I'm still working on some way to controll it from the cab. It works good, but it takes some tikering to get the spring rates right. I wouldn't suggest doing it unless you have gages (boost psi and egt) because it pretty easy to put too heavy of a spring on there and make too much. The whole thing cost me about 5 bucks from the local hardware store and some southern engineering. ill post back if I can figure out a reliable way to controll it from the cab.
