I believe you need to trigger the controller off micro switches for the gear shift, or off a micro/safety switch for clutch cars. Maybe Jack set it up that way. If not, you only need to set stage boost and the first selector for WOT boost. The wastegate comes with a couple different springs, so maybe you could look into changing that out, or cranking the tension stud/nut as Jack said.

The controllers can be set up for timed triggers. No need for micro switches. Just tell the controller when you want it to move to the next setting.

Hey Big Dawg! That's gotta be tough to coordinate with shifts, 'cause shifts points seem to very a bit depending on traction ect. Atleast they do for me!

I am going to read through the directions again to see if that is how it's set.

Jack, did you get a chance to check out the gct files? Especially the second run.

Yep, they look good, I sent you an email...

Brian, you don't have to change the boost on the shift, it's pretty easy to record a run and decide where and if the boost needs to be raised or lowered. You are looking at it from the stand point of old technology. New technology of changing boost through built in timers is a much better, easier way to do it.
