Making a two stage boost controller? input appreciated?
I'm thinking about making my own boost controller switching device of sorts. Here is what I'm thinking.
Use wastegate spring for daily driving/first gear maybe. And be able to switch to a higher boost setting via an MBC by flipping a switch in the car. I was thinking that if you T-ed you vac source and split it into two solonoids and one solonoid would lead directly to a t for also into that t would be the other solonoid output after it went through the MBC. Then that T would go to the wastegate. This sounds like it would work to me. The only thing I can thinkg that might be a problem is transition if switching after first gear. I'm not sure if there would be any problems. I have no boost to test this on yet so I'm hoping you guys can give me some insight. |

I think I read about doing that on Honda-Tech once. Maybe you should try doing a search there.
It sounds like it would work, but sometimes theories don't work as well as they sound. |

Exactly....thats why I was hoping somebody had tried something like that before.

wow thats a good idea, im just gonna rig a solenoid so that basically i can either turn my manual boost controller on or off. i will just put a smaller spring in my wg for first and second and use this used manual boost controller for 3rd and 4th.
