Question is...is it a linear 0-5v it wants or a simple pulsed 0/5v ? ie a hall sensor square wave signal. The two are not the same.

I guess I'm looking for people to show me how they have set up their boost controller to boost by speed or gear. Looking for people with AMS 1000 and M6.

And even if you had a wheel speed output in a 5v linear output it still wouldnt be a smooth arc vs speed. It would be up to 6 different stages based on voltage while being able to pick the ramp rate of each stage

Really AMS should be advising what is needed then.
And fully agree, a good ecu controlling everything usually gives many more options.
That said, if the EBC is also good, sometimes the simplicity they offer....if they are simple lol can also be a good thing.
What irritates me is the ones who claim boost by speed, boost by gear...etc etc, yet the reality is **** all like that, or they're very complicated to make those features work etc

Just to be clear, my comment wasn't directed at using the hall sensor for the ams1000, I mention in my post using the hyperkontrol and holley efi. I highly recommend if you want mph based to go one of these routes. The hyperkontrol you can set boost every 1 mph to 1/2lb of boost difference.
The hyperkontrol also has a built in accelerator for the track so you can run it that way if it carries the tires bad and not have to worry about changing tuneups to boost vs time.

i built a bracket with four snap switches and a resistor divider network to tell my ams1000 what gear I am in. it gets +12v from a WOT switch that is activated around 65%, so the ams only tries to control boost in gear under heavy throttle. it works very well all things considered.

my truck is full of little things like that.
I challenge myself to solve problems that nearly dont exist
Ive been running that gear setup for about 6 months now and its been awesome, in case anyone else decides to try it out. with all the stock console and boot in place you cant even tell its there.
