Procharger and 2-Step

Anyone have any experience using a 2-step on a procharged car? Was testing and couldn’t rev past 2700, it was pushing through the brakes. But because of only being able to go about 1/2 throttle, i wasn’t able to close my BOV so it left the line really slow. How much boost have you seen on a similar set up?

Currently waiting on the 10 Speed Launchbox to be released so i can use that as a trans brake

I thought it was already released for the A10? I think I saw something on Facebook

IMO, 2-step will still eventually push through the brakes. T-brake is the only solution to help build boost of the line

Not yet. I’ve been talking with the developer and he keeps saying very soon.

probably only gonna take it to 2700 to 2800 RPM on the two-step. maybe 3k just want to be able to go full throttle so that I can start to build boost and get off the line quicker

Been thinking about a 2-step for mine. P1x with lt4 fueling. I had one on my 4th Gen and foot braked it. Went my best 60ft with it. Procharger could definitely use it. Best 60ft I’ve been able to get with stock converter is 1.70

so you would definitely say that using a 2-step with procharger is helpful?

I had one on my turbo vette and my 4th Gen. They both worked well. I think it would definitely help the 60ft on the 6th Gen with Procharger. Go from leaving on no boost to a few psi

right on, hopefully the weather stays clear so i can get out and do some testing and i’ll see if i can’t push it to 3 psi. i’d be happy with even 2

I lighter spring in the Bypass can correct that.

i was unaware that the spring in the procharger blow off valve was able to be changed! that is very nice to know. so how exactly does that correct it? and do you guys sell springs?

I just assumed, (my fault) you had the race bypass.

If you don't you can move to a Tial Valve we carry with a very light spring.

203-753-7223

It closes with a lot less throttle input.

i had to go double check the order but it appears that i indeed did upgrade to the race bypass

Something else is wrong. Why are you only able to go half throttle?
