Teamdomokun, the replacement boost controller (of whatever type) is eliminating the stock controller so the boost is up to you; you no longer have the "19 psi tapering to 16 psi" characteristic. You can get an EBC to learn, it just takes a while because we are asking it to run a lot of boost on a small turbo so the duty cycles will ramp up with rpm to hold the same boost. The Profec e01 seems to take an excessive amount of time to teach that way. I set mine by manual method with rpm offset. Keep the gain low or it will flutter a lot.
I don't know if I trust the FJO; I was more referring to the MOTEC than anything. It's actually about $1.2k. We'll see; I may try one soon to see how it is.
My biggest point is, yeah you can probably run off the factory ECU's logic for knock detection if you want to, but who says the ECU is always right regarding when to retard timing to avoid det.? How far up the performance scale can you reliably trust the Mitsu ECU's logic? I certainly won't have it in my own personal car by the time I'm putting 350 to the wheels, etc.

And the results I've gotten from the FJO wideband were always dead on. The biggest problem being that the little Honda wideband sensor doesn't like race gas much. :-(
