Ams-500. Very very simple. Hooked up to 2 toggle switches. To control 3 settings.


Wastegate spring, stage 1 and stage 2.

I mainly run on stage 1 all the time.

Eboost street. It doesn't work very well and I'm pretty sure I've got backpressure issues as the culprit.

I ended up getting the eboost2. I have yet to use it, but my intentions are to have 2 different setups. 1 for street pump gas, and the other for e85 track.

Eboost2
Use it to switch to higher boost settings whenever I feel like boosting more.
