Do you happen to have a contact for them?  I've done a net search and found
2 or 3 places selling them.  All were around $389 - $399 for the module and
another $100 - $120 or so for the optional meter if you wanted it.

That's just what I'm looking for.  Occasional knock when I whack the
throttle open and boost jumps to 8 or 9 psi.  Slowly opening the throttle
and gradually hitting 8 or 9 psi doesn't knock nearly so bad.
