Thanks for the input guys, I'll check out the eboost street controller, my initial thought with boost by gear was to not "knock the tires off" by setting the amount of boost available as the car accelerates especially on the street. Since my car is mostly street driven with occasional track passes it doesn't have to fit any specific racing "class" so I can build it any way I want.

Moehorsepower, LOL at shifting from the back seat, hilarious.

Hey RealQuick once you get everything will you clock the turbo where it needs to be and put ultracopper rtv on the outer edge of the compressor and exhaust housings (to prevent boost leaks).

My drain lines are 10an, but I would imagine 8an would be fine considering you have a pump pulling versus just gravity.
