Re: boost controlled solenoids?

You need something like an air compressor switch, or an A/C cycle switch, but one for a much lower pressure. I'd look at some industrial supply sites. www.granger.com may have what you need.

Re: boost controlled solenoids?

Hobbs makes all manner of such low pressure switches, some are adjustable. They have a web site, but are available at automotive supply shops.
