I thought I'd start a 'thinking out loud' thread to share ideas on boost controller operation, initial setup strategies, experiences, tips, and various racing boost rise strategies.
I've just installed an AMS1000 boost controller. This is a very popular unit at this time, but it's got me a little confused.
What I need is a layman's description of how to use this controller without, and especially with CO2.
First, without an external pressure source. The unit using manifold pressure as the control pressure. My question is, do you build the boost ramp rates and psi target numbers to match exactly what you wish to occur with the intake manifold pressure? I realize there are other factors such as whether the turbo can boost pressure as quickly as you might wish and the spring pressure being used in the wastegate, but do I have the programming part of it right?
