Well from what i have HEARD,they are used by some QUICK CARS,including 6 second DRAG CARS....i think they are ok...as for using it with AN ET TURBO,i think this will get me most of my TRACTION through the GEARS,as you can fully adjust these things....though i will let you know once its all up and going....

you talking about the gain setting? i turned it up to the full 35% and went for a blat, felt much faster/coming on stronger. then looked at the boost gauge next time and it was boosting about 19psi!
gain increases peak boost aswell? so if i wanted to wind the gain up permanently i'd have to lower my hi boost a bit to find a constant 15psi again??
I understand the need for conformity. Without a concise set of rules to follow we would probably all have to resort to common sense.
not the gain setting.... the one that lets no boost through to the wastegate until a certain level is reached.. therefore stopping the wastegate opening slowly as boost reaches the desired amount...

dunno which setting it is then
setting in order
gain = 10%
set hi = 0.92 x 100kPa
warning hi = 1.25 x 100kPa
warning hi = L.10% (only goes up to 20%)
yeah dunno what this second warning hi is?
i never played round with the settings before cause it was set up on the dyno. dont think i could make it any better, might just leave it alone hey. i guess all i'm goin to get is more wheelspin

you could make up a duel stage your self. Just get s a solinoid, (open type one) T off the boost source, run one line to the turbo tech and the other line to the solnoid. (place the turbotech and solinoid as close to the T as possible).
Then bring the the two lines together with another T piece(after the solinoid and controller), and plum it into the acuator. So basically, when no power is going to the solnoid, you will run factory boost, this is because the boost pressure will flow through the solinoid and not through the boost controller. When solinoid is powered (shut) then the boost pressure must route through the controller and hence give you your desired high boost.
For those who are wanting both high and low settings, well you could place another controller after the solinoid and set that to your low boost setting.
The only problem i could see with this set up, would perhaps be the reflux of boost pressure. on low boost setting,(solnoid open) the boost pressure from the solnoid line will hit the acuator, which will provide back pressure and may force it up the other line the boost controller is on. The problem with that is, the pressure relieve hole on the turbo tech, which allows, trapped air to escape after the wastgate has shut/gear change to avoid spiking.
I would think that this would not cause a problem as the hole is relatively small. It could even be beneficial by allowing trapped air in the line to esacpe after gear change. If the pressue release hole to prove to cause a problem, then a closed type solnoid could be place straight after the controller. The solinoids can be wired to the same switch, so when one is open the other is closed stopping any pressure reflux.
Hope that makes sense with out any diagrams
there is equal boost on both sides of the boost controller when in "open or low boost" mode there for no preasure release on gear changes
