Different mechanical boost controllers have different methods of operation. Some simply interupt the boost signal to the bottom of the wastegate until the boost setting is reached. Hallmans are popular and use this method.
Another way to adjust boost is to use a pressure control regulator. Turbonetics sells this type of boost controller. The design is quite simple in that it allows you to send a certain amount of boost to the top of the wastegate. This boost pressure is added to the spring pressure and raises the overall boost level by the amount of pressure sent to the top of the wastegate. In other words, if you have a 10psi spring and you have a regulator sending 5 psi to the top of the gate and actual boost pressure sent to the bottom of the wastegate, it will take 15psi to open the wastegate valve. Once you picture in your head what it's doing, you'll see that its a very simple concept.

That is OTTP for you. 2 guys (brothers) in a garage (at their parents home?)
Shouldnt this be about members and the vendor(ZZP), not OTTP trying to make themselves look better?
Just think it would be better without another vendor putting their comments out there, causing conflicts. I think this is in the rules?
