Line 21: Generally a manual boost controller will not be located within the cabin of the vehicle as the lengthy vacuum piping run between the turbo/wastegate & controller can introduce response issues into the system. It is possible to use two manual boost controllers at different settings with a solenoid to switch between them for two different boost pressure settings. Some factory turbocharged cars have a switch to regulate boost pressure, such as a setting designed for [[Fuel economy in automobiles\|fuel economy]] and a setting for performance. Manual boost controllers cannot be used to set a specific boost level at a given throttle position (& therefore be used to optimise driveability 7& control issues), although a ball-spring type boost controller does allow the boost threshold to be as low as is possible on a given engine configuration, and also keeps turbo spool as fast as is possible as the wastegate remains completely shut until the desired boost pressure is reached, ensuring 100% of the exhaust gases are diverted through the turbocharger exhaust turbine. They can be used in conjunction with ''some'' electronic systems.
