Hi all, just in the process of converting my Porsche 930 from SDS to running an S80. I was looking at boost control options and needed advice on the best way to set up a 'dial-a-boost' potentiometer (or dial-a-death as some like to call them). I can see the dedicated closed loop boost function allows boost target variation by gear or speed, but not directly of an analogue input. I have been thinking of using a spare anal/aux function to vary the pulse width to an aux, but then I loose closed loop.
Anyone done this before?
Cheers.

Re: Variable boost of potentiometer?
I think Rob mentioned a while back it can be done, although it was more aimed at a dyno mode I think.
or maybe it was using a voltage based gear input ( as some sequential boxes will do ) to create a false analogue option.
But using the basic boost control setups, of which there are 2 completely defined options, combined with the by gear, by rpm, by speed options, really does give you a wide range of boost maps that dont require any manual driver input once up and running.

Re: Variable boost of potentiometer?
I did some experimenting with an "overtake" circuit where you would press a button and the boost valve would gve you an increase in boost - it worked fine on the rollers but not something the majority of my customers would want so testing was limited -i don't use closed loop just rely on the wastegate fixed setting. Dial a Death or Press for Death -Indeed
