what boost controllers and turbo timers would be good for a T3T4 turbo? And is there n e thing that does the same thing as an FCD but instead reprograms the ECU instead of tricking it?

I have owned 5 turb ocars in my life and have never found a need for a turbo timer. That is just my opinion. They do work, just not worth the $$ in my book.
For a boost controller I highly recommend the Blitz DSBC.
Fuel cut is run my the turbo pressure sensor near the diagnostic box in the engine bay. That sensor ONLY does two things: 1. fuel cut 2. the factory bosot gauge.
I merely unpluged the vac hose to that sensor... no more fuel cut. The only danger is that I have NO fuel cut. Other FCD options offer a higher fuel cut level for safety.
As far as I know, all FCD type devices intercept that signal and lie to the ECU.
