Las Vegas Evo's
I raced a turbo van 2 years ago... In this video it ran pretty slow but I saw it at the track the following year and I believe it ran in the 12s before they blew it up.
My SE vs the Van

Which one of you **** let this van hand you your asses. Now he's going around talking **** on the internets. LOL!

i may be wrong but the fastest i seen it run was like 13.0 or something like it
Done back to back to back testing with ECU based boost control versus a Hallman and a Forge. For most setups, ease of adjustment and reliability. Its hard to beat the Hallman or Forge for repeatability. You want to change your boost level, very easily done. Biggest thing I don't like about any of the solenoids. Is anything can happen with the boost, haven't seen the ECU to be 100% repeatedable. You could make five runs in a row and overlay the graphs and the boost will fluctuate. Since the ECU looks at many tables and variables. Sometimes not much, other times as much as a pound or more. Do the same thing with the Manual and its very hard to tell the runs apart. Just my opinion. A Mechanical device such as a manual boost controller does one of two things, it either works or it doesn't. Not a whole lot of in between. Unless the checkball gets moisture and rusts. Most of the new manual controllers have a Ceramic ball, so that possibility is gone. I put the electronic controllers in the same category as the ECU controlled setup. Unique, all James Bond in nature. But for tuning especially, they can be limiting, time consuming and frustrating. Last thing you need is the boost moving around on its own, i.e. fuzzy logic, learning modes, etc. When making timing changes and you can see the results as easily.
Its hard on the EVO to keep the boost up in the top RPM range. The 03-05 will hold a flatter boost curve with less drop than a IX. Almost regardless of the stock bolt on frame turbo being used. Even the HD actuators on a IX do little to emulate a boost curve of an 8.

I know the guy who built the Van. Unfortunately its over a foot too long to fit on the dyno. They are just getting started with the setup. Wait till its making some real power. Plus it weighs almost 7000 with passengers in it.
