Very nice piece of work. That's what I would like to see more of on this forum, inovative thinking followed by excellent execution.

Very good. So, you have a separate control unit for the 2nd rail, and thus you can tune it with that! Home grown stuff??
The unit is off the shelf - tried and tested. It can be retuned by the end user.

Go get 'em, Giles. As the others said, very clever and neat!

Coming from you this means a lot. Thanks Your car has evolved over the years, all the way up the FI, stock internals ladder including such things as water injection and now ground setting HP numbers with low boost. The development time that has gone into the stock ECU is phenominal. We want to help make a car that's no worries to drive. One that you can be sure that it will start when you turn the key etc.

We are working on additional solutions that will help nail such things as turbo destroying high EGT.

Nicely done. Definitely more time consuming install than a FMU, but a much better fuel system. I was expecting to see a 5th injector like a Buick GN.

We thought of that ,but we wanted a even and consistent fuel flow across the cylinders. Plus on the up side this solution lengthen the intake runners helping with torque.

The single large secondary injector, although simpler would have to be placed just after the throttle body. That much fuel being pumped into the manifold could wet the manifold badly and become a source of explosion risk. The mixture may not have been good either, favouring some cylinders over others.

Any preliminary fuel consumption (MPG) estimates?

Should be just like stock during normal driving and then pretty propotional to the boost level during abnormal driving I'll ask Joe to monitor the fuel for a while.
