boost controller
#2
actually with the hondata s300 all you need is the little electronic solenoid and to wire it up to the ecu. The s300 will then control the solenoid which will control the boost. Neptune also does the same thing. I believe hondata has their own version of the solenoid, but you can use any one (thats compatible) with the software.

I'm not 100% sure with hondata (as I don't use it all that often being a Neptune dealer) but with Neptune you can set up a high-low boost switch. So say you want 10psi as your low and 18psi as your high, you simply set up the duty cycle of the solenoid that it takes to obtain 10psi and 18psi (you have to do this to set up the boost controller in the software anyways) then you input your desired PSI value for your "low" setting and "high" setting. Then you set up the switch in the software for which port/pin on the ECU you want to use for your switch. Now when your switch is "off" or down you'll get your "low" boost setting and when the switch is "on" you'll get your "high" setting.
To change anything other than this, or if you don't have the high-low feature set up, then yes you'll have to manually change the duty cycle (or desired PSI) in the software everytime you want to change your boost level. I don't know how often you'll be changing your boost level, me personally, pretty much never touch my APEX-I AVCR electronic boost controller and leave it at the same boost level all of the time. The same goes with the majority of my customers with boost controllers, they typically leave the boost controller alone and just drive the car.
If this doesn't suit your needs then I'd recommend getting a "standalone" electronic boost controller such as an APEX-I AVCR or greddy profec (or whichever EBC you want). The only thing is these "standalone" EBC's can't be wired into your hondata s300 to "communicate" with it.
