At first you say "Aiming for 500+ daily". Then you say "I do not want to be running 500whp daily."... So which is it?

I really hope you are sleeving the block. Especially if your dailying it those stock sleeves will take a ****.

MAC solenoid through ectune. You can have boost by gear on a high and low switch of your choosing. Very easy to wire up.

For example you can have a total of 3.

Wastegate (EBC off)
EBC on Low
EBC on High

I got the block darton sleeved. I just dont want to be rolling around at 500whp i only want that much when i go to the track. I want like high 300 low 400 daily. I might get that dual stage turbosmart looks good. But for $200+ i can get a greddy profec b for the same price so what would be better?

I also use boost by gear thru Hondata S300. I have a switch wired up for low/high boost maps that has setting for gear/RPm for both high and low boost. The swtich simplys changes the maps for the EBC

Mac soleniod controlled via ectune. Its a no-brainer. Plus, you can install it in the car in less then 20minutes and not have to wire anything.

Honestly, unless your winding out gears, running 300 hp vs 500 hp on the street is the same thing. I have a high/low boost setup on my R....basically have never touched it..just leave it full blast and it drives just fine.
