wiring E boost2 for external setpoints--ground triggers Still havent been able to upgrade to a goldbox or a holley but I'm gonna play with some different set points this year.
I may try a boost by gear using the PCM control of A & B solenoids in the transmission.
First I'm going to use the fan output from the PCM. It has enable and disable speeds, so it'll be a boost by speed of sorts.
My question is in wiring these things up.
The boost controller needs a ground signal for external switches. The trans solenoids as well as the fan are controlled by PCM triggering a ground.
I was thinking I'd use a FP relay and use the ground signal from the PCM pull the relay coil to ground....but it'd be the same ground as the PCM is on, so do I need to add the complexity of the relay?

I have switches in my otherwise factory 2010 Camaro shift ****. Pressing the up button moves the boost level up one, pressing the down button takes it all the way back to level 1 (switch logic SSA)
I am not certain what type of switch it is. A machine shop machined the factory shifter and installed it. The switch itself is really a rocker style switch. Perhaps a double throw normally open switch? It only has three wires - orange, green, and black. I was asked what colors I wanted and I chose them to make it easy. Obviously, the green and orange go to the corresponding EB2 wires and the black is grounded to the dash frame.
Pressing up grounds the green wire. Pressing down grounds the orange wire.
