Finally pulled my finger out and installed this little baby.
It showed up the other day, its a turbosmart sleeper series dual stage boost controller. Just lets you adjust a high and low boost setting and then flick between then in the car with an electronic switch.
It comes with a jabba rocket switch (fighter pilot style). But that's too glaring and obvious to me, so the best thing ever, well I've had this spare rear demister switch all these years that I always planned to use as a stealth boost switch. Well now it works!! Haha so awesome sleeper.
I just hooked it up at home myself, only took like 30 minutes total including wiring up everything and connecting the thing to the T-piece near the wastegate actuator.
Wow what a feeling. Currently I don't have quite small enough tube (will get some slightly skinnier rubber tube tomorrow to fix that), so right now low boost is 11psi and high is 15.5psi. Its leaking a little bit of air until I get the right rubber tube tomorrow - which means higher boost on both settings.
When I fix that, I'll set low boost to somewhere between 7-10psi and then leave high up just under 16psi.
Even this evening with 11 and 15.5 settings, its awesome fun. 2nd totally grips at 11psi and you can hit the secret demister switch at any time and the car screams into action. I swear that above about 14psi the car takes on a completely different engine growl. I was taking off in 1st and 2nd at 11psi, then I flicked the switch when I was in 3rd gear and bam wow off she went like the clappers.
Boost buttons are cool! Especially when they are stealth and well hidden. When I get the other tube, a 7-10psi low setting will be much better for the wet weather and 1st gear..
