***Topgunz ROTREX C38R Supercharger Kit***

I'm not sure i understand what the distinction is in practical use? So if you can bleed off charged air pressure. and you can control this electronically. Why can't it

Why can't it be used to limit boost pressure per gear? Does the valve not respond to control via the solenoid with the same speed that a wastegate would?

When you say that the kit's boost is controllable via solenoid that suggest to me anything that can control a solenoid (like ecutek boost by gear) could control it? So is that not the case? I understand you didn't design it for that. But shouldn't it still work?

I was hoping to buy this kit and do boost by gear. Controllable boost is a huge benefit over other supercharger setups. But maybe some more clarification on exactly how it would work would help potential buyers.

I was thinking the same thing... if it's being controlled by Ecutek to lower/raise boost, all other items that use that function should be enabled as well. However, this is probably a question that would be better answered by a tuner, no offense to TopgunZ.
