Rob Raymer has one. Knows them pretty well I'm sure. He's a busy man now-a-days.

Ive been using one for about a year and it works awesome. Im sure I can help you get it hooked up right. I was one of the first to have one and had to talk to the owner of TurboSmart in Australia to get it working correctly.
Give me a call if you want. 716-542-3997

anyone want to clear up who had it first

you can pm or call me too 804-314-7966

for a quick rundown, for my 11psi street setting my:

wastegate has a 10psi spring
boost setpoint is 18
gate pressure is 3.9 (and climbing )
my sensitivity is 25
i have the standard external hose configuration (see latest instructions online on downloads page)

i also spent a lot of time with David Mariott over email and phone to get this thing nailed down for v8 applications.

i have lately been making very noticeable losses in spool time with the gate pressure and sensitivity.. as of right now it overshoots by .1 or .2psi then stabilizes.. i have a feeling i'll be bringing the gate pressure up some more and the sensitivity down some more.. but this all depends on how far over your wastegate spring pressure you go.

just for more info: http://www.turbosmart.com.au/boost_c...electronic.htm
