Default 2 stage ECU

How much do these cost, and particular ones that are better. Can you set the 2 boosts settings at whatever you like. How do these work techicanlly. I know a bleed valve just blows out some of the air. Im thinking thats pretty pants !

Not sure what you mean by a stage 2 ecu..

If you get a proper rs turbo chip, then this will be able to see up to about 1.2-1.3 bar correctly.. having different boost levels is up to you really, it's pretty simple to have low/capsule boost (eg, 10-12 psi) and high boost (up to 23 psi) just by putting a switch on the amal valve..

I used to have 2-stage boost, back in the day!!

I NEVER used to use the low boost setting. Have it set up for the maximum boost it can safely run, then if you don't want full boost, then don't stick your toe all the way down.

put a switch between the amal valve and earth

it will half and double the desired boost but as said above adjust your actuator to get maximum boost level first

this way it wont boost beyond your maximum boost level!

Adjusting actuator arms to control boost is a bad thing.. half a hole of preload is what you want, then you jet your amal valve to achieve the desired max boost..

what? that is how you adjust the boost correctly,by preloading the actuator!
and what if you dont even run with an amal valve?
