More than 2 stage mechanical boost controllers?
trying to see what products out there allow at least 3 stages of boost that can be controlled from inside the car, kinda like turboxs dual stage, except 3 or more.. also, is it possible to combine 2 turboxs somehow?
heres something i found:
http://www.nlrsystems.com/pages/boost_con.html - the second one on the page..

Re: More than 2 stage mechanical boost controllers? (Pengo)
On my wrx, I had a system that a guy on nasioc.com (you can go there and
search the forums for "Bristol Boost") was selling.
Essentially, it was two solenoids wired to a switch in the dash. When you turned
the switch on, the solenoids opened (or maybe they closed...hrm), forcing air
through an MBC. When the switch was off, the boost was sent to the stock boost
controller.
I would think that you could essentially continue this "chain" of solenoids, allowing
you to wire up 3 or 4 MBC's, depending on how it was all plumbed/wired. But it
was nice having the stock setup for daily driving, and then a preset MBC (that
you could turn on from within the car) for 1/4 mile, autoX, etc.

so it can be done.. i'd be fine with 3 stages. .spring pressure stage, mid stage and top stage.. based on what you said, i'd like to know if i could accomplish something similar, is it possible to make a switch to select if I want to run boost set from MBC or from Wastegate spring.

Re: More than 2 stage mechanical boost controllers? (vtec.dc2)
i found this.. http://www.dejontool.web.aplus.net/DSM-MBC.htm
2A allows wastegate pressure and set pressure, from the looks of it, would it be possible to combine 2 of these? or with another boost controller like turboxs dual stage?
this way i'd have a remote switch between wastegate pressure and second bov.. were second bov (turboxs) will have a switch between secondary pressure and 3rd pressure
