Boost Solenoid

I'm a n00b here with a few questions (go figure right) anyways I have the s300 with the Boost Solenoid that comes with it. I have a Benson 83MM GSR with a PTE 6265 1.15ar T4 Twin Scroll Manifold Twin 38mm WG's, etc.

I am going to be making 35psi or more and want to be able to have some traction on my bias plys for track use. (Don't really want to use slicks) and sick of blowing my tires off til 3rd gear down the track.

My question is can I add/run a 2nd boost solenoid to be able to run 6 pound springs in both my twin tial 38mm WG's and have it hold the full 35PSI?


My goal is to run 1st and 2nd gear at the lowest PSI level that the s300 will allow and hold big power up top.

So say 6psi

1st & 2nd, 6PSI
3rd, 20
4th, 28
5th, 35
Thanks in advance!

You don't need a separate solenoid, just use the boost control by gear in the software.

I have set it up before but now I want to be able to run a 6 pound spring in each WG so I can run about 6psi in 1st and 2nd but still hold 35psi in 3rd 4th and 5th as well. My tuner is un sure if this will work or not.

You will have to try it.

Tried this out and it did not work. I have 11.6 psi springs in it now. What's the max psi theses springs can hold? I've heard anywhere from 2-5X. How do I find out?

This would be a question better asked of the wastegate manufacturer as they will know exactly what is designed for and what it's limitations will be.
