Default +06 DBW Supercharging

I'm not sure how many of you venture on to the "hairdryer forum" over the pond
I know many of you +06 owners would like to supercharger your cars
Well it looks like Vortech have cracked it
Down side is VSA stops working and you get a constant CEL
Can you live with that

Don't think i'd like to run that risk TBH

Best wait until a better package is developed, which is handy in a way

If they bypass safety features then I would not class it as a good solution. It might work but I would not want to drive around with a constant CEL never knowing if the engine was having other problems.

I thought Hondata were working on a fully compatible gizmo.

Bringing this thread back from the oldskool.
Has anyone caught wind of a viable way of getting around the dire UK DBW forced induction dilema yet? The last post in this thread is nearly a year old so just wondering if any progress has come about in the UK yet.
Are there any aftermarket ECU's that are compatible with this stubborn model of S2000 yet etc? Iv had a dive into the yank forced induction section but there isnt much info floating about for us Euro's in there.
