And alot of tyre smoke with snow shooting everywhere. because it's cold, wouldn't you have alittle but more horses at those wheels! it's one of them 'do not try this at home' type of thinggs.

Where did you get the aluminum plenum?
haha true, its NZ for now, but when I go 7AGE (turbo), the head of the engine remains, so the plenum is ok for boost

The plenum is the result of many hours of wacking aluminium with a pallet in the garage.

G3+ upgraded to G4. Next engine will get a G4 extreme.
The closed loop boost control will be pretty neat to try out!

Will run all of the above except for anti lag which is a bit unnecessary on a track car. The Storm has enough inputs but I want a lot of spare channels for future use.

Are you tuning and configuring it yourself? I could do that with the older links, but there is so much in the software these days I leave it for the flatmates dyno sessions...

I was going to use my ECU to do closed loop until I played with one of these!
It allows for 6 boost settings with sequential up / down buttons. My track car has two buttons on the steering wheel – one will be for up and one for down!

It also has gear based boost and can control two programmable outputs…lots of other cute stuff too!

I talked to the engineers for quite a while at PRI. If anybody is interested let me know!
