WIRELESS TURBO BOOST CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. A wireless turbo boost controller configured to control a wastegate solenoid of a turbo boost control system of a vehicle, the wireless turbo boost controller comprising:
- a wireless communication module;
an input interface configured to receive a pressure signal indicative of a manifold pressure of an engine of the vehicle and a RPM signal indicative of an RPM of the engine of the vehicle; and
a processor configured to control the wastegate solenoid of the turbo system based on the pressure signal, the RPM signal, and at least one program setting received via the wireless communication module.

14. A computer program product for operating a wireless turbo boost controller in a turbo system of a vehicle, wherein the computer program product includes code stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium of a mobile computing device that directs a processor of the mobile computing device to perform a method to direct operation of a wireless turbo boost controller, the method comprising:
-
providing a setpoint duty cycle; and sending the setpoint duty cycle to the wireless turbo boost controller via a wireless communication module, wherein the wireless turbo boost controller generates a solenoid control signal from a pressure signal indicative of a manifold pressure of an engine of the vehicle, a RPM signal indicative of an RPM of the engine of the vehicle, and the setpoint duty cycle. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
