Bit of an odd one this - most people only want to increase horsepower, not decrease it.
So does anyone know, if I fit an upgraded ECU & APC hardware to my LPT, would it then be possible to 'insert' an extra switched circuit to the APC solenoid to give either:
1.Normal ECU controlled fuctioning.
2.Overidden - ie fully open( or close) the solenoid ,allowing air from turbo straight through to wastegate as per normal LPT function allowing base boost only.
If this would cause problems for the ECU could it be done by having a parallel connection in the hoses between turbo & wastegate fitted with a remotely switchable valve.Then the ECU would be no wiser
I only ask this because there are occasions when LPT power is sufficient ( like most winters & when my better half is driving the car) & it would be handy just to be able to push a button & turn the extra power on or off.
I don't want it to be adjustable, just on or off.
