dual stage boost controller
What are your opinions of the dual stage boost controllers? I've been doing some searching but no clear answers on the forum. I'm looking at the turbosmart dual stage or the turboxs dual stage controllers. My last (cheap) manual boost controller was very flemsy with holding boost so had to let it go. Has anyone used one of these before and are they worth it?
Thanks,

I have had dual and tripple stage boost controlers.
They are ok, not sure how they will work on your car unless you are making big power.
Other wise, a single stage is ok.
I used it to run 6psi in first and 2nd gear, then 11 in the rest.

I had the same argument about not needing two boost settings with a friend a while ago. I was telling him how my EVC 6 had both high and low settings, and scramble, and could map boost based on speed/throttle position and RPM. He said something to the effect that it's all useless because of the throttle pedal. So I asked him if he just leaves the TIG welder up at maximum all the time and uses the foot pedal, even to weld tinfoil. Thus ended the discussion.
What multi-stage controllers give you is resolution.

Porting the wastegate will help or eliminate boost creep. It won't help with boost consistency though. I have the Greddy Profec B Spec II and it is pretty sweet. I can have a low (rain/cruise) boost and a high (track) boost setting. My problem is that like spooling spec V said I can only get like 6 psi in first, ~8-9 in second, ~9-11 in third, and ~9.5-12.5 in fourth, haven't tried in fifth. The stock turbo is just not meant for those boost levels sadly. It's still very fun though.
