Boost Solenoid Question
For all you turbo experts, I've got a question. The EFRs I have can each have a solenoid attached directly to the turbo. My AEM boost controller comes with a single solenoid. If I put a Borg-Warner solenoid on each turbo I should improve response time dramatically (cut down on spikes), but I can't figure out how this would affect the controller. Surely there is a change in resistance or voltage that I would need to account for somehow. Anyone have any ideas?

Look and see if adding another gauge would help. Or if they sell some that supports 2 solenoids. I'm also assuming you tried just using a "T or Y" fitting to split off the hose to the one gauge you have.

Don't want to run two boost gauges. There may be a way to rig it so you only need one (ideal because I don't have to change out my current gauge), and there are some that support two solenoids. Aaron sent me a document I'm trying to get through that shows one that supports both a single or dual. Haven't finished reading it, but it looks like the same gauge so that may indicate it is how you run the tubing. The question is, do I tie the two reference tubes together with a "T" or the two waste gate actuators? So far, I haven't found the diagram that shows that.

I wouldn't see why a "T" wouldn't work. I am running waste-gate pressure now but when I wasn't just like your old set up. I was using a "T" out of the solenoid to each waste-gate. Should still be the same concept just that your running the hose from the gauge to a "T" into 2 solenoids. But I do see your frustration in trying to figure this out. I'm on the hunt for this answer now also lmao!
