why not just stop putting your right foot down so hard?

I asked my tuner to do a 2 stage boost set up for me.. his reply was no problem when you learn to control your right foot you can have as many boost stages as you like

You can have a 2 stage boost control, quite easily from what i remember? But for accuracy you may want your ECU modded for a 12 position boost switch?

Your right foot has bugger all to do with it You'd need to be a god to control boost with the throttle, much easier to have the like of a 12 pot boost controller. Means you can still have 100% throttle and whatever boost you set it too.

Why not simply turn the boost off near totally, for wet conditions ?, a simple bit of wiring and a switch in the amal valve wire will do this cheap enough.
On one of my 3 ecu positions the boost is bled on build up so it is a lot more gentle, even if your foot is planted.
