Switching from pump gas to meth boost levels

What's the best way and what's the least expensive way to do this?

I daily drive my car but wouldn't mind a boost in power for the track. What's the easiest way of going about it? I would assume you need some sort of switch or electric boost controller to switch to a higher boost level, and a laptop to switch the tune over. Is that it?

Any help is appreciated. I used to be against using the meth kits, but I've been reconsidering my position on that lately..

if you're doing stock ecu tune, then there a lot of software for you to tune your own car or have someone else tune it. i run meth and daily drive the car ...i like the power all the time not just whenever.

you can log it on a laptop and just switch it whenever..assuming you have a laptop..check the engine management/tuning section.

I have EcuFlash and EvoScan. My question wasn't how to tune it, it was more about how to have separate tunes for daily driving on 93 and a "race" tune of 93 + meth. Obviously boost would be different, so the question was what is the easiest way to change that. I assume it's an EBC or switch could also work. Just seeing how everyone else does it.

Edit: Just realized I kind of poorly titled this thread. I'm not questioning how to tune, I'm asking how to switch boost levels if you don't want a meth tune on all the time.

seeing that you have a forge mbc.. why dont you get a meth tune and swap between the two maps, manually adjusting your boost level when you change maps..
