Default Boost activated exhaust cut outs?

i couldn't find anything on this. all i see is electronic cut out via switch, but is there anything that opens automaticaly as soon as it sees a set boost level? say 0-5psi? so while driving you don't have to worry about switches/buttons

How about wiring it in to your TPS instead? wire it so that when the TPS goes over a certain voltage the cutout would open? An electrical switch would probably be easier to setup then a boost activated switch.

EDIT: if you look on atpturbo like bimmerman suggested you wana look for the hobbs switch. I believe that's the same type of actuator you see on internal WG's. I dunno how you would set it up to a cutout though. Aren't e-cutout switches on/off? IMO a hobbs switch might not be the best to use for that.

Idon't understand why people like those so much. Half the reason you want an e-cutout is so you get quicker spool. Well if it opens after you develop boost you loose that advantage. Although, you will see nice gains in top end the development of power won't be as good as say an e-cutout on a switch or TPS
