Electronic Experts- Volt booster - DIY

Hi guys,
Question on Volt booster for an electronically challenged individual who is trying to learn.

Saw a post by @turbobitt (Thank you) on a booster and just trying to see if I am on the right track. Does this appear to be correct?

at first glance it looks right to me,

what are you triggering it with?

I used the XFI Pin B2 to trigger my DIY volt booster. Makes for a nice integrated system that can be triggered at any boost level or completely disabled.

Thanks for the feedback gents.

Bob,
One unit via XFI and the other via boost activated switch. Since I like to do things the hard way, there are a few things I would like to try.

Thanks again gents. Much apreciated.

let me know if the voltage boost overshoots or not.

I will try to run a test sometime. Here is the final product. Had the 40A sealed relay laying around so I used it.

Nice idea. I wouldn't have thought about putting the resisters in the relay.
