Turbo Guys: Ever give any thought to an electric WG actuator?
I guess the way most handle it now are with compressed air and electronic boost controllers.
Many OEMs are going to electric actuators for WG control, as it allows more flexibility (i.e. opening WG at part throttle for increased fuel economy).
While we are not interested in fuel consumption, the flexibility this could offer might be interesting, during staging, etc. I can't help but look at the actuator on my desk and think about adapting it to an external WG.
I guess no sense in reinventing the wheel, but just thinking out loud...
I use the ams500 with CO2 it only has two stages one is for launch and the other is for normal abuse and kicks in when stage one is no longer in use (brake pedal,and toggle switch wired in series controlled for stage 1) stage 2 is controlled using carb hat boost ref) Once i get the new combo installed ill control stage one off the transbrake.
