Anyone try one of these? im considering it once i get the new turbo setup in-
I wana try drilling out a oem shift ****, and glue in a small switch and hook it up to that- when you start to get boost, switch it and theres your high boost?

also- on a low boost stock b20 setup, what bout the fuel and timing maps? if its tuned for 10 psi and you turn it up to 15psi mid run the engine will want new timing and fuel maps no?

Just tune for the max psi you plan on running.

I run a homemade dual stage setup 7psi on low boost daily driving and 12 psi on high boost so it's tuned for 12 pounds.


That ebay kit is a rip off.The setup I made uses a junkyard purge valve from an old integra,and maybe 6 dollars in wiring,fittings and a switch.If you want to make one yourself and don't want to use a purge solenoid here's a baller heavy duty one for 25,which is still cheaper then that kit.

Diy quad stage like your talking about using purge valves

What about having 2 maps one for say 10psi one for say 15psi, and then running a moates 2 timer

so when you switch it, you can wire it up so it switches ecu maps as well?

if your ecu is properly tuned then you dont need 2 separate maps. when properly tuned the ecu should read and run anything from 1psi all the way up to whatever the max your MAP sensor can read.

OEM sensor about 11psi max.

They actually look like quality components. But the shipping will probably kill you. You could probably put those components together with a couple of industrial catalogs.

This is compatible with the Synchronic wastegate though. If you hook the solenoid up to one of the ports on the WG, you could do 2 boost pressures based on the switch being on and off.

Cant you do that with any wastegate?

Im doing it now with my ching chong meow wastegate.leave the switch down it runs on 7 psi wastegate spring.Flick the switch it runs on 12 psi boost controller.

I think the synapse wastegate just doesn't require you to run a boost controller in the mix to switch settings

ic ic- after looking more into this whole thing im just going to get a purge solenoid or something like http://forums.evans-tuning.com...20310

and then put the switch on a shift ****- if i get tricky i may try to figure out some sort of shifter gate with microswitches but idk if that will work with our thick slopy shifters lol
