Smoothboost controller for Procharger?

[LSchicago]

I'm interested in a Smoothboost controller for my Procharger P1X setup. The system doesn't rely on vacuum, and replaces the big red race valve with an electronic throttle body style BOV. I need more info though, as I don't know enough about it. SB says they have sold a few to Coyote owners, but I can't find any info or videos on it. I don't want to spend $1,000 to buy and try. Alternative is a Waste gate with boost controller. I'd love to regulate boost on the fly.

Neat idea. Looks heavy, essentially an electronic throttle body.

Interesting.

I wonder if this could work like Beefcakes torque booster, bringing the boost in at a lower rpm?

It follows the same principle, but is electronic and adjustable on the fly by turning a knob. It also has the ability to preset 2 different boost levels. Say 8psi for cruising and 15 psi for the track (or when needed on the fly).

Beefcakes Vortech compatible booster is $650.00 and you have to manually change springs.

If the SB device includes the electronic controller and the all the necessary hardware, delivers adjustable boost on the fly, that's not a bad deal.

Hope someone chimes in that has one on a centrifugal Coyote.

It does include the controller. They said a few were sold for Coyotes, but Dodge/Jeep is most of their sales. I don't want to be the experimenter.

Seems like a cool idea. Hey, someone's got to be the guinea pig, LOL, JP.

You can do all of this with a waistgate. You can adjust on the fly and have presets for very cheap with a waistgate

Wastegate

When I use talk text I don’t care how it spells but yes you are correct

C02 wastegate like people use on turbo cars.

Electronic would prolly be awesome but I want to see more proof of it working.

I was researching wastegates when I found this. More expensive,but might be a really good solution. I like the idea of smooth transitions that are promised with this system.

Beefcake doesn't seem to make one for the Procharger. I need a boost controller too. Changing springs won't work for me. If I had to do that, I could just change pulleys.
