dual stage MBC
I don't have enough money to buy HPT so I was thinking of running a dual stage manual boost controller for high and low boost , has anyone done this before ?

And you'll go into limp mode for overboost. Save up buy hptuners and get a correct tune, there is a boost controller build into hptuners that works very well

well I currently use a MBC and have no over boost issue but it's only turned up 3psi , I have a HPT tune but don't want to edit my tune every time to switch from say a daily boost level to a race boost level

Use your right foot to control that, instead of hammer down for everything. A correctly set up tune and it will be fine for daily driving and racing.

Because hptuners is designed to only change engine parameters, while trifecta was created with the ability to control the entire vehicle. Different engineers, different goals, different software.

Seriously you don't have to swap tunes, just control your right foot.
