How can I even strive to be as cool as you?
Hope this setup results in the #s you want!

EMS to control boost with a GM solenoid. I can tell it what boost pressure I want exactly, vs just dialing a knob which is annoying... Also you can do cool trick like change boost pressure based on RPM and speed.

The only disadvantage, however, is that you can't change boost on the fly, which you can do with the Profec, which makes it easier to (i) switch boost levels when you run race gas and (ii) tune down the boost for normal street driving. But the advantages seems to outweigh these drawbacks, imo.

true but if you have your laptop in the car and then you can, not as quick as with the profec but there are other ways which i will show later.

Very impressive on how you will control your boost.

Here's a something I've always wondered about:

Why didn't you elect to make the turbo manifold such it seats the turbo where the OEM airbox is normally located? I realize this is a lot more piping for the manifold, but wouldn't that ease up a lot of the work that goes into fitting the turbo along with some of the issues with heat from the turbo? Piping for the FMIC could be easily routed from the OEM airbox location. Oil cooler lines could be mounted on the subframe and easily routed to the OEM airbox location. There would be plenty of room for a large turbo and with a vented hood, heat could be more rapidly dissipated. Without the OEM airbox, that space seems ideal for a turbo.

Just wondering

That's big.

What I'd said was that you can't change boost ON THE FLY. Obviously, you can control boost with the EMS and can change your settings if you wish, but it's not as easy as simply pushing the high-low boost selector button or twisting either the high or low boost knobs.

i know that, that is why i said not as quick as the profec. he he he
