aha.. good timing .. I was wondering last night if something can be hooked to reduce/increase boost on the fly..
say the APS TT kit @ 8PSI, with a boost controller you can reduce the boost to what level? and wouldn't that cause a rich AFR?

You can never reduce boost below the wastegate spring pressure. So whatever spring pressure you have is the lowest boost you can create a MAP for.

I like the Dual Solenoid setup, which will be available at a much later date. This allows you to run a very low w/g spring setting so you can launch the car without completely blowing away the tires then ramp boost as traction increases. This will be the hotness

I thought it was possible to tune using the UTEC and vary boost (with an external EBC) and maintain fairly consistent AFR ?

We just managed to get it working!!We were running 14psi before using a manual boost controller, and just removed is and replaced it with the solenoid from the APS kit, and made a boost map.We were able to have the car run and hold 9psi rock steady!!! We were of course halted by the weather,but will be doing some Dyno tuning and boost mapping later this week..But it does work!!
My wastegate springs are good for about 18-20psi, so the UTEC controled the BCS and made it maintain 9psi..We were also able to get fater spool up by playing with the Boost Control gain feature in the UTEC user constants!!
This is exciting news and will eliminate the need for costly boost control units in the future!!

Jet: You certainly attained PIMP status when you installed the giant TurboSmart wastegate. How loud is that anyhow?
Julian, thanks for the info on the boost control via UTEC. If they come out with a solenoid soon I may go wthat route and sell the Blitz.
