bugger, that doesn’t help me much seeing as the vehicle in question has a thunder in it.

thanks for the insight Adam, the vehicle i’m wanting to use it on is a drag radial car. these setups typically require low boost (5-7) on launch and then ramp in 30+ over about a second. co2 based dome pressure target works well in these situations but indont want a stand-alone boost controller to do this. vehicle has currently got a link thunder which works well for everything else i need it to do i was hoping the egate might be a solution, but maybe not if they suffer like you’ve said. Any idea when link are going to do what every other ecu manufacturer does and give us a push pull type boost control? cheers

hi @Adamw, when you say they have some issues, are you referring to all e-gates or just the oem ones? The turbosmart egate works pretty well i’ve been told. Have you had any experience with the turbosmart ones? As link seems reluctant to give us a way to have push/pull type boost control i had intended to use an egate instead but alas link doesn’t support these either?

Thanks @Adamw

Hi, I see there is a clutch/tc slip channel able to be logged but where would i go to set this channel up? I assume i would have to put gear ratios in so ecu can work out slip from engine rpm vs output shaft speed? Ant help would be appreciated Link thunder ecu with current firmware Cory

Hi, i dont suppose you could add the ethanol content fix to my file. I tried importing the above can protocol and everything worked fine but Gear position is missing from that one which i need. cheers Cory MXS 1.2 Strada Cory.zconfig

doh!! I had switch condition set to ignition and somehow entered 2 instead of 1 in so it wasn’t activated. I had checked the runtime value earlier and it was on so I tripped myself up along the way somehow. Working now, thanks heaps for your help @Adamw FYI, I didn’t need the RC filter to work on this early commodore. Works fine without it but wouldn’t work with it at all, which I find a little confusing. I assume I need to remove the pull-up and just run the r-c combo but it’s working good so won’t bother. Thanks again.

Hi @Adamw with the pull-up hooked to 5volts or 12volts it outputs 0 volts (it goes to ground) when set to test (ON)

Hi, been trying to use this method to drive some stock analogue temp/oil pressure gauges in an old commodore. I’ve been trying for a couple days and cannot for the life of me get the results mentioned above. hooked up exactly as above all I can get out of the aux output is a constant 6.5v when pull-up hooked to 5v or constant 12v when pull-up is to 12v. changing frequency and duty cycle does nothing. any idea ideas. I even hooked up on the bench with no gauge and same results. The pwm output doesn’t seem to do anything. Hooked up as per @Adamw ecu aux is aux 1 on a thunder ecu, set to gp pwm tried constant frequency of 10-4000 with no change in output voltage. I have the cap going polarity to ground.
