Well I tried the tial in dual port config today and found:
1) boost regulator worked backwards (dialed in more boost by turning **** clockwise instead of counterclockwise,
2) that it produced a much more linear boost curve then the one I've got in single port mode with the setup shown earlier (it would rise smoothly & consistently until max boost at 20 as compaired to rising consistently to around 10 lbs. then leaping to 20 lbs. - the leap is alot more fun!)
3) the relief valve could not be used in that configuration. Had to leave it completely open as turning it up only slowed the rate of spool.
4) spoolup time was slower in dual port mode than in single port mode although still pretty quick.
so went back to single port mode using the relief valve, one-way check valve & pressure regulator. It works fantastic.
