The way mine is put together, the modulator really only controls light throttle upshifts. But you are correct, a simple tps value is by far the easiest. We just have the ability to use other parameters to use as a condition. I know some turbo guys would love to bee able to shut off the kick down when at full boost and at a certain mph. Heck, you could even use coolant temp our virtually any other input as a condition. I know you know that, thats just for the benefits of others reading along.

Cool stuff!
