I cant wait to get my hands on this. My new MT tires help traction a TON, but this seems like it will just make it all a smooth transition.
Put my name on one of them, Louis and just holler when you have it ready.

It doesnt really care what transmission is in the car, itll switch the SPs inthe Eboost based off of vehicle speed, not actual gear.
Price point will be 150ish for the first group buy, once I get production in line. After that, the price will go up.

Gear specific boost is the only way to fly with a manual trans if you want to get the most out of every gear. Turbo XS makes a quad stage boost controller. It has 4 solenoids that you dial in the desired PSI per gear. Only problem is getting a control box to activate them sequentially. We used this setup on turbo hondas and with i forgot what software it was, we were able to activate them based off MPH. nauturally you launch in the first stage, 2nd gear was lets say 40mph, boom second stage clicks and so on and so on. The poors mans way of doing it would be to have 4 individual switches that you could toggle between every gear. Good luck with that in a 900whp car, haha. I had a hard enough time using the dual stage version on a switch in a low 10 second 4 banger, haha.
Curious to see what you have to offer lou! I am a M6 guy for life and am very interested!

I will mark you off in the order they come. They are going to ship march 2, just in time for 2k. I will take your payment when they are ready to ship.
These are from the first batch of prototypes, they are working just fine, but you will get a discounted rate for your feedback.
