Boost holding feature 3Bar?

[MEXICANPT]

What exactly is this?

How does it work?

And more importantly, how do I have to shift gears to make it work?

Normally boost is related to throttle position, based on what the driver wants. So when you lift off during a shift, wastegate opens assuming you want less power.

To utilize WOT shift feature, you have to be abusive to the trans. Keep your right foot on the floor - give the clutch just enough to allow you to yank the next gear and drop it again.

My car goes KA-POW! when I do it. It's cool.

KA-POW huh, i think i would like to see and hear that one day

have you ever had to go into a chrysler service department for any warranty or regular work and had the service advisor try to feed you a line about your car? or can you do your own warranty repairs.

My first new car (a 97 dakota) was purchased with my employee discount. They wanted to sell me extended warranty coverage - until they learned I was a line engineer at Chrysler.

I do all my own work on my own cars. Honestly, I've never broken anything while it was still in warranty. Actually, I haven't much hurt my cars at all. Except the one that burned to the ground, and the one that dropped two valves when I down-shifted on an on ramp. Oh, and the one that I rear-ended a F-350 with. That and the time....

One more thing:

If you powershift, wouldn't boost be held even without Stage I or II? If you don't lift the boost should hold.

Am I right? Can you ellaborate on this one, pretty please 3Bar.

If you touch the clutch without a Stage kit, it goes into another mode and wastegate duty cycle drops (less boost). It might even go into a different rev limiter.

I don't really know, I put my Stage 1 kit on the day after I got my car.
