Default Best method to change from from high to low boost?

My boost controller needs a switch or a button to change from low boost to high boost. So what is the method you would like to see and why?

Some info on what the ---- kind of BC you're running might help

T up a 12v solenoid to your wastegate vac line. you can wire it to a button. when its off, thats normal or "low" boost. when the solenoid is on, it opens the wastegate vaccum to normal atmosphere. all that would do is require more pressure to push the actuator arm. so that would be your "high" boost

How would you tune TE or uberdata for that though? Would you just be stuck running real rich at low boost and at normal AFR's on high boost?

That'd be a lot of boost on high.

The best way is to run a Greddy Profec B spec II like me. :P

If I'm not wrong, Sinner is *making* one, so he's not getting a Profec B

couldn't you just make the change with a regular on/off switch, its simple yet effective.
