i was thinking about this at work today.

Last I ever checked or heard, the only way to adjust boost with a SC was to change the pulley. Now I was reading an old article in GMHTP where a guy in Cali made 800+ RWHP using a D1SC at 19PSI on a stock block and crank. It said that when he wasn't on the track, he would turn the boost down. Now this is where i started thinking, is there a boost controller for SCs that I didn't know of or did he just change the pulley when he got home? I'm assuming he just changed the pulley, and then went onto thinking, how could you control boost with a SC?

So heres my idea, put whatever pulley on you want for max boost, but then somewhere along the line, between the TB and the blower, place a second TB to control the boost. Anyone think this would work, or would the fact that the air is being pushed just overcome the second valve.

It is a valid idea. I have an electronic boost controller with my STS system. They must funnel the extra pressure off somehow?
For me it really helps, because at high boost, on the street, it can get away from me far too quickly, just due to traction concerns.
