Boost controller for centri
Would this setup work? Riding on Nitto invo 345 with 1000hp is no fun.

Well I called them and it only works for corvettes with a roots style blower. They are working on a system that will redirect power for a Centri but it could be awhile. Well life still sucks for us Centri guys that don't have drag setups for the street.

I was thinking of their boost by gear setup for centri's. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...other-one.html

There is no reason a good shop couldn't put a wastegate on your inlet piping to bleed off pressure. Then it's just a matter of choosing your preferred boost controller and programming it. Or just using a simple dual stage solenoid activated boost controller like a Turbosmart. Have low boost for daily and then a kill setting for Mexico.

From my research you just don't bolt on a gate and controller and go. Sizing the gate and spring is some trial/error. I've seen boost curves look like a sine wave generator with it bouncing up and down. It can be done, but there is more to it than just put on a gate and go.
Another thing I've seen is spring a BOV to open at a certain PSI without pressure to the top with a solenoid, then when the solenoid opens it pressurizes the top and acts just like a BOV.
