Not heard of that before? The only application of air injectors I have seen is for emission control, particularly on older American engines.

Is you mean a solenoid valve for boost control, then yes, megasquirt can control one of these. The V2.2 PCBA needs some modifications, not sure about the V3.

Rover v8, as fitted to range rovers had them fitted for these reasons - by injecting air into the exahust to dilute the gases would allow emiisions tests to be passed.
