DIY Dual Stage Boost Controller
Damn I'm being a thread monster today
 ...my last one today I promise!http://www.darklightning.com/gi/cap.htm He calls it a DIY Cheap Ass Profec, but it is really more of a dual stage boost controller like the Turbo XS or Dejon. Also worth looking at: DIY mbc http://www.geocities.com/chmwatson/FAQs/mbc.html One of the best tutorials I've ever seen, great pics and clear explanation. The only thing I'm wondering is what is the "solenoid" consisting of. I mean, I understand the notion of the switch with "on" meaning air is passing through and "off" as the valve being closed, but I am wondering what mechanism he uses the switch to control? The dual stage would be a fun project imo!

Re: DIY Dual Stage Boost Controller
that is pretty fuckin rigged! it is also a pretty good explaination of how it all works.
a solenoid is just a valve that opens and closes with power on or off, there is no in between.

Re: DIY Dual Stage Boost Controller
Hmm it's the same principle as a valve opening and closing. But where would one get said solenoid for a boost controller application? I think I might've seen something about this on tuners, I'll check it out...
