:Do the Z's boost control solenoids only work when they detect detonation or when the car is warming up, YES or does the ECU also use it to smooth out the boost curve? NO:Are there any provisions in the ECU for controlling the solenoids or is it a locked-down setting that you can't change? Ash makes an ECU that can control stock boost solenoids :Do the solenoids only act as open/close switches that you have to control with PWM or can they open at varying degrees? OPEN/CLOSE :Why don't people use the stock Z boost control solenoids like they would with aftermarket controller's solenoids and control the boost that way? Don't any boost controllers interface with our boost control solenoids? None that I'm aware of :Do any boost controllers get an input from the detonation sensor so that they can pull boost back when they detect trouble? Yes, aftermarket standalone ECU systems that are more advanced can monitor various parameters and control boost accordingly. Most modern turbo cars do this from the factory, i.e. my Legacy.
