What are you guys with external wastegates using for boost controller? Does it work through CANbus or a separate controller?

Ok shit I think I just didn't read into all of Reflex. I thought it was for PI control only. So just connect the MAC valve (boost solenoid) to Reflex and that's where you get boost control. Did I read that correctly?

Shit thats awesome. So then does the Visconti lpfp upgrade go in as an input? If so, does this make it a more superior lpfp to others? Or do the others such as Titan input to the Reflex as well?

The visconti fuel pump is an output, which sorta sucks, because the current Reflex <-> Ecutek only allows for two outputs. In your case, it would be the Mac and the Fuelpump. That leaves no room for nitrous, meth, etc.

You can use the visconti fuel pump with a Hobbs switch though, that works fine.

Ok good to know. So after rereading about it on visconti's site, its saying the same thing as you. I thought there would be more I/O because 1. On Motiv website it says 4 I and 4O but maybe thats a slightly different one. And 2. I was reading the install guide and it showed Mac as output and fueling stuff FF and lpfp as inputs. Again maybe wrong Reflex I was reading about.

Inputs:

Outputs:

Also I don't have plans for nitrous or meth...... but you never know about the future. So good to know about Hobbs switch.

The reflex supports four output channels, it's Ecutek that's lacking. It could be fixed in software someday.

Damnit Ecutek! Thanks for the great info as I dive deep into all the parts I'm beginning to hoard.
