You're an early adopter for sure. Hopefully not beta after 22 software releases.

But, there's still probably 22 releases to come... hahahah. Always room for improvement. I'm never satisfied.

haha yeah good point. I just wanted to make sure it wouldnt mess anything up. For example, with the wideband goes out, if I run the car for to long without it functioning, then it will screw up my o2 and I have to buy another one...

There won't be any problems like that. Worst case you just wouldn't have boost. But even that is unacceptable in my mind. Let us know if you have any problems with noise and the Boost Box not working on that circuit. I haven't seen any yet, but you never know.

Looks like it, yep.

Me = confused

No, 24V valves won't work. Needs to be 12V. And then, the standard MAC valve 12V part isn't rated for underhood installation. There are a few upgrades required to make it waterproof and capable of high heat.

I would say use the stock solenoids. You can get them for $33...

Speaking of reducing confusion, what do you think of these 4 diagrams?

External gate, MAC valve:

They are cool, but if I leave the top port to atmosphere, how in hell am I gonna be able to run 23 psi on a 9psi spring???

It should work. I believe winker is running something like that right now...

Huh... interesting.

So the 'noid is a 1:1 replacement for the MBC then. Right?

Yes, we're plumbing it in an MBC would be. Can you do 23 lbs on your 9 lb spring now with an MBC? If so, then this should work the same. But, you'll also be able to make down to 9 psi in the lower gears.

I'm afraid that I won't hold boost to redline that way.
I actually bought the boost box because I thought that it would direct pressure to the top to shut the gate too... Didn't someone post a pic like that?
