The Spectre brand EMS is a universal system with complete fuel spark and boost control, real nice unit for the money. Less than $1000 with the harness. It uses Megasquirt technology.

I think you mis-understood "EVEN works with OBD2" to mean "ONLY works with OBD2". I assure you, the AEM F/IC works just fine on my Jet Ski and it certainly isn't OBD2. It's actually easier to tune on OBD1.

All I kept seeing was "The F/IC gives users with OBD-II vehicles and non-factory forced induction systems the ability to retard ignition". But thats cool your running it on your jet ski. Do you race them or is it just a project? If I do end up doing a stand alone I will probably go with megasquirt. Im getting the rest of the hot pipes welded up tomorrow. I will try to get pics of the completed turbo system up in the next few days.

Mainly just a project, but I did compete in a National top speed shootout last weekend, where I placed about 20th out of 80 ski's. My ski makes about 280 hp on a turbocharger and the stock ECU with the AEM F/IC.

Brother had a 3.4 Turbo that would spank that maybe
would've been a good race.

That 3.4 in the Grand Am is a little different than the one in a Camaro.

I hear you would have much better chance with a 3.8 and the 3.4 sucks, but good luck!!!! I hope you rape his ***.

Thanks guys. Here is 5psi, just taking it easy shifting at 5k RPM. I cant wait to get some meth so I can up the boost I should have no problem breaking the 300whp mark when all is said and done.
