Turbo: After market custom installs

Does it read boost through 2 bar map ??
does it work in closed loop ??
Does it retard as boost increases ??
Can you program a map ??
You'll need time on dyno to make it work with a tuner who know
this microfueler etc

The Split Second controller is connected to the intake manifold and in my system I only need it to read up to 10 PSI, although I'm sure that it has been designed to read much higher boost than that. It does not come into the equation until I'm under boost, therefore no, it does not operate when the car is in closed-loop.

None of my turbo related components deal with the OEM ECU in any form, and this includes ignition timing. Retarding is not necessary until one runs more boost (or lower octane) than the system was designed for and the car starts pinging and for those dreaded moments I have an MSD ignition retard controller at my finger tip in the cockpit. I can also increase the W/M injection volume, but that takes stopping the car and popping open the hood and re-adjusting the W/M boost-dependent electronic controller, or the pump pressure.

Programming a map is where I am at at this point. I know how it works, but I've never actually tweaked a car myself. And yes, I do realize that I'm at the point where I should get the car tuned with the help of a knowledgeable person. This Aussie guy (I believe in this Forum) mentioned that he tunes it by "feel" driving and adjusting fuel back and forth until it "feels right". Like I said before, time to shell out another $700 to the local tuner.

The trouble with most OEM systems is they read only 1 bar. turbo's don't hane linial boost.. They can have boost any where.. In most cases ignition timing is close to 10* too advanced..
A road tune with wide band gives you real good road manners if your runing a wild cam or tune.. Which is difficult to tune out on dyno..
We here in Aussie have Boost refferenced ECU's that read up to 3 bar [more with options] The budget ECU's start at $1k to $2500 for fairly top quality..
EMS Product 2
MicroTech EFI :: ECUs
Haltech Engine Management Systems
There's Motec, Autronic, Fast, etc but they are $3k plus..
We have used both EMS and Haltech. Both have U.S dist...

I bought mine from Snow Performance,
I am satisfied with their product and with their customer support.

Look in their Website and see what system you need to pick.
