Boost by gear. You'll still need to purchase a solenoid for it though.

what do you use to control the boost in different gears? is this where the boost controler comes into play?

it will be programmed in... Yes, the solenoid is controlled by your hondata...


You can set each gear to run what ever psi you want... this helps with traction...

I wish I would have had it installed in my S300.
Might still do it.
Not sure.
