So... I am ready to start modding my bf xr6t,im going to be running an external wastegate with a 7psi spring. My question is...on my el xr6 turbo I was going to, but never got around to, run a high/low boost switch,I had a turbosmart boost tee to the external gate and using an inline solenoid, bypass the tee,so when I want to run low boost the solenoid is open allowing bypass of the tee,and for high boost flick the switch,close the solenoid and the tee is used.

can this be done with the xr6t management or is the tune done using load,rpm AND boost?

in other words,can I bypass the factory boost control with an external gate?

you could buy an electronic boost controller(apexi, hks) and have that control your boost. had one on my skyline . fairly easy to install . similar setup cars I would have thought..

People run eboosts so should work fine, not sure about the tuning side though.

doing it this way would cost me free so I'm all for it. as for the tune, the way I see it if its tuned to say 14psi (the high boost) then its gonna be safe when its running the 7psi low boost
