Short answer:...
No, the boost activated switch did a good enough job and was easy to tune for. My turbo naturally tapers boost from peak torque to redline, and water delivery to each cyl per engine rotation at WOT towards redline naturally decreases along with boost. I went from 11:1 AFRs to 12.5:1 afrs on a 50/50 water/meth mix (yellow bottles of Heet at this point)
Long answer:.....
No, to put it nicely, I've not found a controller that does a good enough job considering the price and benefits. Until I get a true 3d mapping controller with decent resolution, a simple boost activated setup is fine for me
Ramping up controllers though do map nicely at times with boost curves, they don't take in account engine RPM. I've got a Turbo XS Utec that can provide a 3d map for an externally driven solenoid, but the resolution of the map is hindered by its 15hz operation. Well, that and I need a HSV of sorts and dont want to spend the money :D I R cheap a ass. I'm waiting for a friend who is going the UTEC route to report back.
That said, the devils own kit was well thought out though I only received female connectors (cant remember which), not a big issue though as the rest of the kit mape up for it. Radio Shack FTMFW. I like the DO kit and philosophy enough that I sport the DO sticker. DO is the only sticker on my car
Ohhh and I have a leak at the pressurized outlet of the pump. I tried not to tighten down all the way and tried to be careful with the brass fitting, but I think I might have stripped something. I've got teflon tape (no paste at home depo) and will give it a shot. If I stripped something, where can I get a replacement pump head?
