Never used this item, but thought some may want the information.

Man....that sure would make running one of those blowers much more intresting if it would actually work....

Two vac lines to a "black box" = Simple check valve and manual bleeder set up. Can build it from Home Depot for 10bucks. Turbo guys been doing this for years.

The Control Boost systems works differently than the turbo controller described in the post above, that method doesn't work on a positive displacement blower.

We've had a very successful test program for the system and you can see some of the reviews at:

I realized all the testers were running "brand x" cars but the system works great on any positive displacement blower, ie VMP, Kenne Bell, Eaton, Whipple, TVS, Magnuson, etc.

The system is now for sale and we're offering a special discount to Mod Mopar forum members, just enter the coupon MODCOUPON during the checkout process, it gives you $50. off the already discounted price.

John, you should get this for Linda. Would be interesting to so it work on a KB 4.2

If we hadn't figured this out two years ago, but this does look a lot easier , we use a boost controller for Linda which is a few bucks alone.

I've been doing testing on my Challenger for the last month.

While it does a good job of helping keep it out of partial throttle boost/letting the tires hook in first, it is somewhat finicky on letting it stay in boost at WOT.

I still have some testing to do but it definitely has some potential.

Curious why no digital potentiometer to control the boost setting rather than what appears to be a simple rheostat?

Seems like it's all pneumatic so no potentiometer. They don't show the internals but it looks like a pneumatic shutoff valve (the switch) and one flow control valve (the screw). The flow control valve would make the pulling of the diaphragm for the bypass valve slower given the restriction in flow. Just a thought from looking at the video.

^^ Makes sense.

Just curious, what is the advantage of this control box? When I bumped up boost to 15psi with the Kenny Bell the light switch effect sucked. Added the WOT box and blower more or less acts like a Centri now and boost is very controllable. So what again does this boost controller do?

I'm thinking it does the same as the WOT box, but with some degree of adjustment. Sure seems to me like an adjustable spring on the Bypass.

When racing a big KB or whipple the hp/tq is too much off the line using the IRS, what you want is the ability to dial in at around 6psi off the line and add boost in stages.

rpm controlled actuator to control bypass valve... not that hard...

Got it. I for sure can understand boost mgmt with big KB's after running my new set up at 15psi. Was totally uncontrollable. The WOT allows me to control boost via throttle position and engine RPM/load now which makes it much more manageable. But I get wanting to dial back boost for real high boost cars if street drivability is not a big concern.

So the MODCOUPON gives you $50 off the listed $149 price on the website ?

Digging this back up....

I think I am going to try to use an N2MB boost controller box coupled with a solenoid, can prob use any number of subi or mitsu factory solenoids, N2MB controller has the ability to learn and do boost by gear.

[Hemi~C~ 19]

^^^^^^^ This. Now we are talking! A lot of folks would be very interested in your results.

[El Diablo 72]

I believe Dave Weber has one similar to what was described in testing phase right now.

[Modern Muscle 14]

Yes we do and so far so good. More info soon

Seems that controlboost has vanished??
