I want to put a wastegate on with a Procharger and then use the boost control in my fast to control max boost. Just pulley the blower to max impeller speed. I know the bov's gotta stay also to relieve pressure when the throttle closes. Anybody forsee any issues? Is there a better option that I don't know about on a blower car? Thanks and any info is appreciated.

Try doing a search. There is a couple of threads around on the subject.

I've done a little searching. Anything with wastegate pulls up turbo applications. I will look some more

Thanks

Keep looking. There was a long one with a corvette owner who did a lot of homework and had results on it. I forget his name though

Ya I saw u replying. U ever do it? I'm committed. Ordered a precision wastegate last night lol. If i was only wanting to limit boost the adjustable electric cutout on the inlet pipe would be the easiest/best way to go IMO. But with my fast I can actually control the wastegate to bring the boost in slowly, kinda like a progressive controller for nos. Gonna be interesting to experiment with.

let us know how it turns out. i think a wastegate on a centri blower is a great idea with wonderful possibilities. i read a thread a while back (on another forum) where people were blasting a vette owner for trying this. people were calling him all kinds of names and getting furious at him for even mentioning the subject. a couple of other guys and i stuck up for him but it didn't do much good. i have never seen people that infuriated on a forum.

Try looking around on yellowbullet.com in the blower section, there a quite a few guys over there that use wastegates/controllers to control power on their blower cars.

I did a waste gate on my stock ls2 gto with a f1 procharger maxing out at 6500 rpms
The waste gate had a 13psi spring in it, opening at 11psi, it was in full boost by 2800rpm if it was wot,
the tourqe was off the wall

Ams says they have done it for years with their boost controllers.
