My 3 stage boost controller:

[BoostMonkey]

Okay, just kicking around some ideas tonight cause I'm bored. I know the picture looks elementary but will this work? If so will it work good? If it won't work then why not? It's late so if I'm way off base here be nice... lol



1 toggle switch for each solenoid.
1st solenoid pos 1: to first grainger
1st solenoid pos 2: to common barb on solenoid 2 which goes to G-valve#2.
2nd solenoid pos 2: to third G-valve.

Whatcha think?

Any ideas on this? Will it work?
Thanks.

It should work, but if you want to simplify, you can eliminate one of the G-valves, and use straight manifold pressure as your lowest setting.

thats exactly how i have mine setup

manifold pressure ~7-9 psi
low boost ~16 psi
hight boost~21 psi

and i'm going to hook up my shift knob i got from autozone that have 4 buttons on it that send to a remote box under the dash that controls the solenoids. that way i can keep my hand on the shifter and activate the boost instead of taking my hand off and flipping a switch. It also keeps me from having any wires going to the shifter. Should be the best 15 bucks spent.

When you say straight manifold pressure, whats that mean? Thanks.

It would look like this.

With this setup, the spring tension of your wastegate would be what controls the lowest boost setting... usually around 4-7psi.

So basically eliminate the first G-valve and just run a vac. line? Cool!

Make SURE to post pics and a diagram when u do that! Sounds sweet!

I have a two stage now that has 16 psi for low and ~22 psi for high. I was thinking of adding a third so it would be low, high, and "all of it" also known as the Chuck Norris setting.
