yeah but the Blitz SBC can change boost settings instantly and does not preclude the use of different maps for pump gas/race gas. So it looks like the cost of the Blitz is the only issue (other than the UTEC features not yet enabled).

not sure how boost control works on the Z, having not used it yet, but on the other models (WRX/Evo), the UTEC controls boost, so its also available at the touch of the remote switch button
ie - map 1 10 psi
map 2 - 15 psi
ie - map 1 10 psi
map 2 - 15 psi

Glad this thread helped. But lets just confirm with Jermaine, that the boost control function currently works. If not, maybe he give us an ETA...otherwise, you still might need that boost controller.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY!! where are my manners! lol i am over seas right now, it has been the new year for @4 hours!
If the boost controller is not functional at the moment but will be in the future, can't i just stay at a predetermined PSI (8.5) till the software update releases?

I had a brain schism for a second. As I recall, they are working on a solenoid that will be used. I dont think it's out, nor do I think there is an ETA.
vitaminz - yes absolutely...just run the wastegate psi pressure

It should, it is only a generic BCS for the Uni-chip..same theory involved, I just need to ask Jermaine which input we need to wire it in to..
The solenoid we will offer is very high quality unit. We use a poly blend casing to protect the unit from vibration this also allows the solenoid to be very quiet and it also has a 120 psi capacity .
Thanks,
Jermaine~
Happy New Year!!!

The Z UTEC boost control shares the same as offered for the WRX and EVO UTEC.
You can hard wire any type of Boost Control Solenoid as long as it does not exceed the 2 amp load specification.
