When are you coming out with a softwere update that will let us change the gear ratios (need to make this work with an auto trans)...
It's in the next one. I wrote that in this weekend along with a bunch of other improvements. I should be posting it soon. It needs a bit of polishing and testing.
I just don't like the stock noids because they look and that snake nest of lines... OMG
Hate it.
I think you are a bit confused on the whole stock solenoid thing....
The stock solenoids come in a pack of three solenoids with a bundle of vac hoses taking up space in a stock srt4 engine compartment.
The boost box does not require you to run this stock set up.
All it needs is for you to use one of the three solenoids hooked up between turbo and gate like an mbc. The other solenoids, and vac lines that you already removed can stay in the garbage. So all you'd have to do is find space for one of those solenoids, which is not much bigger than a mbc. So keeping it out of view should not be a problem. In my car it's behind the where the battery should be (i have a meth tank the size of a battery where the stock battery sits). Honestly you wouldn't find it if you were looking for it.
So people who think this means going back to pcm controlled solenoids you are mistaken. This box just gets wired straight to the one solenoid and thats all. And it works!

If you use the stock solenoid, do you plug it in and then splice into it, or do you cut the connector off and use it solely for the box???
The connector gets cut off a few inches back and is connected solely to the Boost Box. One lead goes to ground, the other lead goes to the Boost Box output.
On the harness side going to the PCM, a resistor gets connected to the two wires.
So you basically do the no solenoids mod and reuse one noid as the boost controller, just like an AEM would do it.
Well, you don't have to get rid of your other solenoids. I still have all of mine.
But, the other ones won't matter for this. They may matter for other things, though. You'll need the surge solenoid if you still have the stock surge valve...
You should really tap into a boost AND vacuum source, the redline only sees boost. I would find a spot off the throttle body line, T into that line.
Sounds about right.
Although, I suppose we don't really need to know about vacuum. The boost controller won't do anything while you are in vacuum. But, that is typically how it is done.
has anyone running a big turbo adjusted their calibration table for quicker spool yet?
care to share ur calibrations?
i am running the 12psi spring, and was gunna adjust the table to 0% duty cycle until about 8psi or so and then level out into the default duty cycles by 12psi.
