Boost solinoid.

I'm looking to run a simple boost solinoid to give me 10#s on the line and then hit 16#s once on the move.Has anyone done this recently and how did it work?Which solinoid did you use?
Thanks

I do it, use a manual boost controller inline with a GM boost solenoid(from typhoon), then when I hit the button on my steering wheel it goes from low boost to high boost.

What is your low and high boost settings and are they adjustable?How did you setup up your hoses?Dosen't the Typhoon solinoid need a signal from an ECM to work or is it just 12 volts?
Thanks

Just needs 12 volts, the low setting is whatever spring you have on it and the high setting is whatever you set the manual boost controller at.

Lines are simple, put a Y before the noid and mbc on one side of the Y and just straight hose on the other. The noid is 3 port, very simple.
