Default need help with AMS500 boost controller

My transbrake works by grounding the solenoid (jakes 4L80e) I can activate stage 1 of the boost controller by hooking up the stg 1 input to the transbrake button.

I want it to go to the 2nd stage when I release the transbrake button, not sure how I would accomplish this. The signal can come from either power or ground.

NLR and they said if I leave stg 2 powered and activate stage 1 it will stay stg 2. So that leaves out keeping stg 2 powered all the time.

Any idea's ?

here's the manual

Why not program stage one toe the desired boost level with a regular toggle. then use your momentary switch to turn on stage two at the release.

Run stage two threw a toggle to before you run it to you momentary switch so you don't always have to have it on when your not racing.

Stage two over rides stage one in the AMS500 so it doesn't matter what stage one is programmed to. Stage 2 is highest priority.

Hope this helps.

not sure how I would use the momentary switch to turn on 2nd stage, the switch becomes a open circuit when released.

ForcdInd, I was wondering how a rear set up would work, it'd be out of the way. I didn't know if with that much hose to the front if you'd have any problems with air in the line or not.
