I am wanting to fit an in-car boost controller so when I want a bit of extra power I can simply up the boost. I will fit a gauge too so I know Where that 12PSI limit is.
My question is how would fuel economy be effected? If I am just pottering around or cruising on the motorway and I turn the boost right down will it slightly improve economy or make it worse? as I may be causing the engine to work harder?
Also is it likely to cause any issues with the ECU making regular adjustments? For example it will having to keep relearning itself? (Providing its that intelligent)
I noticed this is not the most common way of changing the pressure so it is why I am asking. From what I understand most people just space the actuator or fit a controller under the bonnet then leave it alone.
