Nize, I don't quite agree. Properly set up, a manual or other mechanical boost control that bypasses the CV (something like a Lindsey MBC or Guru's ReliaBoost) isn't a risk. It will require more attention and you can't slide by on cheap gasoline like you can with electronic control that will cut out the boost if the engine starts pinging. If you're mechanically sensitive though an MBC isn't a problem.

Of course, electronic control does offer more fail-safes.
