Pressure source:
In the BoostController configuration will be
necessary to inform what is your source of pressure: intake manifold
or CO2 bottle.
When using a bottle, an industrial pressure regulator is required,
limiting the line pressure according to the desired configuration.
Two manometers must be used, one before the regulator indicating
the pressure in the bottle and the other after the regulator showing
pressure in the line.

Basic:
You can access all control settings through the FT500 screen.
Control gain:
Adjust the control gain according to the valve response.
If it is taking to achieve the target it is necessary to increase the gain,
if it overshoots the target it is necessary to reduce this value.
Advanced (PC):
Some settings are available only in FTManager
software.

In the “Sensors and calibration” menu select the “Wastegate pressure”,
after this set the associated input and the sensor type used.
FT500 setting
In this menu should inform the BoostController its basic settings.
Other functions
Valve model:
You can choose which valve type will be used, high or
low flow injectors, FuelTech 2 valve block or BoostController2 solenoid.

MAP maximum pressure and MAP maximum pressure on 2-step:
Allos to set a MAP maximum pressure during 2-step and out of the
2-step. This function will not adjust the MAP pressure according to
a target and will make the pressure bounces around the target. This
maximum pressure must be used only as a safety feature to prevent
overboost.
