I'm looking at buying this setup as it is compliant with all USA and Canadian standards. Has anyone tried and/or heard anything good or bad about these units? Price is US$699.

I'd bet you're ahead of the curve on this one fc. From a cost stand point. Looks like an excellent value. To upgrade to the H1's will cost more then the these.
So fc, that means you can be the "tester" ;-)
Are you planning on going to the Whistler tour? I'm planning on going. Should be fun!

I seem to be testing a lot of things on this car
I doubt I'll be able to make it to the Whistler event. I think I have a dragonboat race that weekend. I'm also not much into the show n'shine thing.
I got the Andial microfueller installed. Car seems to pull a bit harder up high, but I notice that my EVC cannot hold 1.0bar right up to redline. It starts to drop to about 0.9bar at the top end. I wonder if it's an exhaust restriction, turbo capacity issue or an intake leak. Anyone have any thoughts?
Now that I have the fueller, I feel like upgrading the turbo

Could very well be a leak. Taking off the intercooler is a pretty easy job (if you have a 13mm swivel socket). Takes only a few minutes. Might be worth pulling off and checking all the gaskets and hoses. I had my lower elbow (the one under the car right on the turbo) come off before...
I wish I had my friends dyno run of his stock 91 Turbo. You'd be amazed at the difference in #'s between his and mine. Spool-up was like night and day. On the C2turbo board there ares some cars with the bigger turbo's (K29 I think). They make more power but at the sacrifice of the low end. Certianly not what we want for the autocross!
