Hey guys! Just read thru all 7 pages of the forum, and had a few questions. Forgive me if this us basic, or if I missed the answer during search. I'm hoping to be able to set-up the following:

-Tune one map for 87 octane with A/F ratio for optimal MPG.

-Tune second map with A/F ratio optimal for HP

-Integrate Alcohol injection w/ bypass so if alcohol tank is empty, runs boost level safe for fuel only.

Looks like my only problem will be lack of boost control via Chrome. Please correct me if I'm missing something. Looks like a lot of guys are running manual controllers, or is there something else available. I'm hoping to use the stock windshield washer sensor, and tank as part of my AI system to keep cost down, and stock under-hood appearance. Thanks in advance, I'm really excited about this car again.

The boost control code works great. Its just finding a solenoid that's compatable with the ECU hardware that's still being tested. The main reason more people aren't using it is because the setup/tuning is a bit different than what most people are use to. Its stupid easy to just setup/tune an MBC so that's why more people prefer using that.

As for the alcohol injection, that's a separate system controlled outside of the ECU. All you'd be doing with chrome is replacing the map sensor with the custom switched output from the ECU. So the ECU will tell the meth system when to spray instead of it going by boost pressure. Most meth kits have their own fail safes built into that systems ECU.

I'm new to all this, so I won't notice the difference. Anyway for me to be genuia pig for boost control as you mentioned?
