If you want to run boost control, you need ms2/extra 2.1.0.

I added it in 2.0.0, but there were bugs in the rotary trailing ignition code until 2.1.0.

There is only once change necessary for the swap to the 2.x firmware from 1.x. Just move the 2nd VR wire from JP4 to JS10.

You will want to export your VE, AFR, spark and split table first. Not sure if you can export the warmup enrichment or other tables. Make a note of your accel enrichment settings. The new firmware will have to be set up again...

But remember, a boost controller cannot lower boost past what the wastegate will naturally achieve.

Make sure your lm1815 circuit has pin 14 grounded too.

cool thanks Aaron i can fix that my self then.. im hoping the wast gate can handle the 10-12 psi il send it atm its not even activated to.. il bypass the boost controller and see if it will still release at 6-8psi like it used to that will tell me (or give some indication) if i will need to port or not
