Hap,
Voi con le palle grande! ( you with the large ..uhmmm..turbo) Now
really, quite frankly, why would you settle for 22psi sometimes and then
go to 26psi only for special occasions? I could speculate:
1. Mrs Hap has capped Hap at 22psi with the apexi remote from the
kitchen?
2. It provides yet more buttons to push (something to do?)
3. 26 psi wakes up the neighbors/causes avalances?
4. Evergreen is all downhill anyway?
But seriously folks, my "unit" is software controlled that adjusts
boost according to rpm and throttle. I can't imagine the need for
manually over riding the computer, or something that could do it as
well. Call me crazy!
