Are you using the internal or external MAP sensor? If not using the external MAP sensor, I think you could get that input to work as an input for boost selection (*I think* - this is unsupported so you might need Hal's help).

With a carPC, it's easy to modify on the fly!

i use car pc but you have to reboot the haltech (turn car off and back on) if you want to change anything.

do you change maps or just adjust in the settings? either way i think you have to reboot which is a pain and not really "on the fly" since the key has to shut the car off.

i'm using internal. I was going to tune to wastegate (14ps) then have my boost controller hold at 25psi for my big boy all on the same map. If i can find a way to disable the solenoid then the flick of a switch would switch me from w/g 14psi to b/c at 25psi.


RC, pm me. i don't want to clutter up the thread. I need some info on how i can setup what i want on this haltech. Hal is tuning it for me but i need to know what all to buy to set it up properly.

rich: quit going off the radar and answer that last pm! lol

I like the idea of using the car PC. It seems like u can use them to monitor just about anything

I know what he meant. I was referring to to the OP's pressure lost of 4psi. a 0.4psi lost is awesome if it is accurate because even FMIC maker brag about their IC if it is less than 1psi drop. So he's only loosing .4psi with that IC and piping

there should definitely not be a 4psi drop at redline... Like sasha said, about .5 is about right.

Im going to do the waste gate tomorrow.. and check the spring... and no jeff, I cant quit work loll

His spring is 8psi but he's dropping to 4psi. 4 psi loss....

Solid BP!

Thanks guys. I have always said that it's not just the product that is important, but also what comes after the product has been sold.
