Default TurboSmart Dual Stage Boost Controller








My question is where do you guys mount the toggle switch to switch from high boost to low boost? Post pics if you have them.

i just put a TXS dual MBC in a talon. mounted the switch just to the right of the steering wheel on the dash so he can switch it between shifts with his right hand. It's a fairly ergonomic layout surprisingly. next next to the shift lever might be good too. I guess it depends if you are trying to switch it on the fly or not.

I ran that in my last car that was stolen.

The b/c worked great. I mounted my switch right next to my ebake on the black interior piece that covers the ebrake. It was pretty much out of sight and I could easily hit it. I don't think I have a pic of it but if I find it I will post it.

I got is from http://www.turboneonstore.com/boost_controller.htm

What I like about the turbosmart boost controller is you can adjust both boost levels, the low boost and high boost. They also have a single stage boost controller that allows you to switch between your standard boost (whatever you wg spring is at) and your high boost (which is adjustable). The single stage goes for $159 and the dual stage goes for $184. The only difference between the two is you can't adjust the low boost setting on the single stage, it goes off whatever your wastegate is.

Just a suggestion. If U sometimes switch boost levels during shifting. For real efficiency, try reversing the switches functionality. That way on stage 1 the red cap is up. Makes it easier to slap the cap (oppossed to getting your finger on the little toggle switch) in a tense session of quick shifts.
