variable boost
i would like to run a 12 point variable boost setup on my engine but have been told you can only run this with a 8 injector setup on my ECU (P8)
is this true? or is there someway around it.
i currently have air injectors controlling the boost
any info would be great

Why the hell would anyone want 12 settings though? you do know that the footpedal on the right can be used to vary engine output?

Testing the future
as chip said, 12 point seems really silly. but that was the switch that was used back in the day, so that's what people still use.
in reality, surely 3 (low, medium and high) or 4 would be enough?
EssexAaron get in contact with RP Lab. they will be able to do the conversion that you want and allow you to run adjustable boost with only 4 injectors.
it's only said that it can be done with just 8 injectors, as that was done before by some people, and others can only buy the same stuff from the supplier. they're not clever enough to write the code themselves. RP Labs are however.
they have many years experience with the P8 ecu writing custom code for it to allow many different inputs and outputs

It was designed so to stay in the MIDDLE so that racers could adjust the boost to suit different atmospheric and humidity levels around teh world. Nothing really silly about it when used for its intended purpose.

Indeed, just a waste of time in a road car.

The other main one being the fail unsafe rather than fail safe.
