Default 2 stage boost control

Years ago a friend of mine had a pink RS Turbo which had a switch which made it have 2 levels of boost. Does anyone know how this would have been done?

You simply fit a switch in the Amal earth line which goes to the ECU, have this on my car, when closed the Amal of course functions as normal and when open the Amal has no power so it's the same as disconnecting the plug on the top of it and hence you run lower boost!

yup you can indeed.

The avcr type you see on many jap motors is supposedly spot on.
