HaHaHa! I was 25 yrs old when I finally realized my old man didn't know everything, and 28 when I realized he didn't know near as much as I thought he did! lol

Oh year, 21 before I realized I didn't know everything

BTW Stazi, I came up with a beautiful manual boost controller...on paper. No electronics but it looks like it can do everything I want and will use both sides of the wastegate diaphragm. Machining is the problem as some tolerances are tight and I only have a cheap drill press.
I have an electrical solenoid one figured out, and that would probably be easier and cheaper in the long run, but not as elegant. Like a digital versus analog watch.
Are you interested in any joint colaboration?
