Hey SuperchargedGTZ,

I can't wait for the specs on this mod!!!!!!!...
If the original brain flash is good for 20-30whp, and if Brain on Boost adds another 20-30 whp all the way to redline, this is going to be the stealthiest mod to get. Volk LE28n and tanabe springs first...Then this.

No problem at all. I apologize you haven't heard much from us lately, but to be honest, testing has been occupying a lot of everyone's time here. And as much as I would like to spill the beans on what exactly it is we are testing, I've got to be tight lipped for a little while longer. Hope you guys understand.

Thanks,

Rifkin

works. Please answer just this 1 question. If we get the ECU flash with upped boost. Can we tune it down. Or are we stuck with always running higer boost unless we get a boost controller. thnx in advance.

Ok, without giving too much away, let me just say this: controlling boost and upping boost are not necessarily the same thing...see where I'm going with this?

why in the world would you want to "tune it down"? You can tune it down with the amount of pressure you put on the gas pedal

I've done numerous mechanical and electronic boost controllers in previous turbo cars and no matter how tunable or adjustable they were, all I ever did was "set it and forget it" and never adjusted it again. All you are missing is a bunch of pretty little lights.
I just hope, like probably most people here, I want Works to flash in the most reliable boost possible after tuning fuel, timing, and rev limiter.

no bring the boost on earlier woul;d result in a torque gain:
Low rpm+ high boost= torque

also boost carried closer to redline= more top end

but second part in easy but lots of people dont know the first part.
