I took a look at the webpage for the product: https://www.turbosmart.com/product/eboost2-60mm-black/
Very cool, however above my pay grade for work to be performed. That said I haven't come across anyone discussing it here. However you try the ecoboost performance forum?

I just joined that forum which I am now searching thru, since it seems like an interesting way to increase the boost.

No I had not planes to increase it more that 8-9 PSI, I am replacing the turbo Cores with the CR Performance cores so that might give me some extra reliability with more boost.

Very interested in this idea and looking forward to hearing how it goes

My only concern is I need to find out if I need to bypass the stock controller. This is reason for the question

Probably need to piggy back off from it. You want the car to still do whatever it needs to based off boost with fuel, timing but now you can fine tune what it gets and per rpm or per gear sounds awesome. Or rather maybe run the lines to the controller and run the controller lines to the OEM solenoid? So once you control the boost the factory ecu does the rest?

I was look at possible removing the stock controller but will have to do more research before hand.

I don’t recall boost by gear to be achievable through our normal tuning pathway

That is one of the reason I am looking to install the controller i just hope it works out.

I see where you're going. You're trying to achieve a scramble boost. Meaning you can use more boost when the engine is accelerating quickly in the first couple gears.

Only time I think boost by gear would be need is if we are turning boost down as to not yeet the trans in the high gears with high load. Stock turbskis at 100% wgdc in any gear with supporting fueling not going to be crazy on anything any who. In our set ups it might make more sense but tbh the cars with stock twins or even the upgraded twins not going to need this. Feel like this is just itching for an overboost or underboost code without proper tuning

Is this because of what Jordon stated about over boosting? Or because it really doesn’t need one do to the the fast spooling of the turbos?

I just dont think the car will react well on the with two boost controllers. I think this is a road that won't end well. This platform has been around for more than a decade. I promise you if it worked like you think it will, it would have already been on my SHO.

I'm probably one of the only cars with a boost controller on it. Stock set up it just doesn't make sense because the boost is controlled by the pcm and if you throw stuff at it that it's not expecting things go out of whack
