I recently installed an AEM wideband and Fuel Pressure sensor so I can log them in powerlogger. I've had the Alkycontrol system on my car for several years now and it works great, but I've never really pushed the car that hard.
Now that I can watch AFR I'm ready to push the performance. It would be nice to have a "fail safe" add-on to the AlkyControl kit. We have a red/green activation light that let's us know it's making pressure, and a low tank level light to let us know it's getting low on fluid. Could these be made into an active failsafe? For example if pressure is low AND / OR the level is low have the control box activate a solenoid valve to block off the "bleed solenoids" or manual bleed valves making the internal wastegate open at it's minimum pressure. Or have a small pressurized tank at say 20psi that would open up the wastegate fully via a solenoid controlled 3-way valve.
I try to be good about checking the system operation, but a failsafe would give a little more assurance when the boost is at 24psi and you're ripping down the track.
