You're probably referring to the ECU for the turbo system itself, which was probably programmed by Mr. Turbo, hence the $1500 cost. Wastegates and boost controllers don't cost anywhere near that much.

The problem is that even if you find a cheaper ECU, it needs to be tuned to work with your particular application. Turbos are notoriously difficult to tune correctly unless you have considerable experience with them. They're not like normally aspirated engines that can stand a little lean AFR. Too lean and a little boost, and you end up with melted pistons or worse.

Sorry, don't mean to sound so dour, but just letting you know what you're up against.
