The boost controler can be placed inside, but personaly I don't like to make the vacc ( in this case pressure ) hoses that long .. and must be ( the boost controler ) under the level of the wastegate ( by instructions )

Have a look at this manual boost controller :
TurboXS Universal High Performance Boost Controller MBC - $110.45 : Tuningneons.com, The Performance Of Tuning Neons.
Says "The adjustable bleed mechanism lets you minimize the massive boost "spike" that can occur with poorly designed ball/spring manual boost controllers"
Do we need such a protection? Could it be that this valve can produce a turbo sound like those of ricer cars? (which goes like whhooosss CHAAKKHHH!"

are you talking about the BOV sound .. ?

Yes. Is there any way I can make it produce similar sound?
However, currently I have the waste gate hose removed and it makes a whistle sound (due to boost leak from small pipe). It's nice but sadly it will be gone when I install a boost controller.

just if you have a butterfly in your Throtle body ..
here you can ear my BOV in action ..

thought in my thread ( see my sign ) you can found a few ones .. and believe not .. the 13B-T does not.

I am going to get the boost controller anytime soon now. Had a question; How do you adjust the PSI? I mean how can I exactly set it to 14.5PSI? I am asuming that I drive it and callibrate the boost controller accordingly but that will take time. Is there any easy way?
Another thing, can I use a small plastic bottle to 'catch' oil from blow-by? Will the homebrew method work? Has anyone done this?
Does anyone know a cheap blow-by oil catcher for 13B-T and 1HD-T?

Why are you trying to catch blow by? If you have that much blow by that your shooting oil out the tube you have got some wear issues or bad rings. Newer diesels just but the tube into the intake before the turbo so that it doesn't pressurise the crank case and just burns off the fumes. But if your getting oil out of it it is going to make a mess of your intake from where the tube goes in back so don't just dump it in the air filter. And if you want to catch it in a bottle make sure you put some vents in the top of the bottle so your crank case doesn't pressurise otherwise you will blow out your gaskets and seals.

Someone told me that I should catch the blow-by as the oil from blow-by hurts performance. As per the adviser; the oil reduces the combustion/diesel-oxygen capacity thus reducing performance.
In my case, yes the intake is full of oil.

Dahr, you can also put a "crow"bar under the Wastegate actuator rod and bend it upwards to increase the boost before the actuator opens. I also went the route as Dougal, got some rod from another turbo with the adjusting screw and welded it onto my actuator. Caution, I melted the first wastegate inside with this. Second time went the way of keeping the rod cool while welding. Now I adjust as needed, currently max setting, also not recieving as much boost as suggested. need to look for a leak perhaps somewhere.
Oil can be a big problem in petrol engines as it drops the octane rating of the fuel, but not so much in diesels. In diesels it is fuel.
Diesels with piston squirters have much bigger problems with oil in the blowby than those without. Many have an air/oil seperator in the blowby tube before it exits the rocker cover (or wherever else it exits).

there is a easy way .. just like you said .. only time comsuming .. but it's easy. Just " close " the boost contoller and then start opening it a half of turn ..

As heavy duty diesel mechanic most all diesels have piston squirters but this does not increase the amount of oil that will come out of the blow by tube. The tube itself is just a vent with little to no pressure escaping while running there maybe a little oil vapour but that is all. When it starts to shoot lots of oil out there is problems with the cumbustion pressure escaping into the crankcase.

BUY YOURSELF A BOOST GAUGE
If you are going to run 14.5 psi you should be thinking about an intercooler.
you should read more and stop regurgitating what you hear

I'm in full agreement with you regarding oil shooting out the breather.
But my point was that due to the oil squirters, any air coming out the breather will carry more oil mist than in an engine without squirters.

You don't need an intercooler it run 14.5 PSI. It cools the air that is going into the engine making it more dense meaning more air is going into the cylinder and therefore meaning you can put more fuel in and more power. However this may raise EGT's and increases the cumbustion pressure and your already reaching the overboost of 15 PSI. If your building yourself a race car you can look at water meth injection to cool the temp of the exhaust or propane injection. Water meth is actually pretty simple.
You've got that backwards.
Intercoolers reduce EGT's, not increase them and there is no need to increase fuelling unless you're after more power.
There's also a small efficiency and economy improvement to getting your charge temps down. Something like 6% max so it's not huge, but another reason to do it.

To take advantage of your intercooler you would want to increase your fuel. But it does increase cumbustion pressure. Water meth would be a much more effective way of cooling EGT's. More so than an intercooler. The Intercooler is used to get more air into the cylinder for more fuel. It is not going to radically reduce the temp because the air ends up compressed in the cylinder causing extreme heat build up (EGT's). That is why the use of an intercooler on a pre cup engine is not widely used.
