Hey Travis,
I heard that you do the ecu controlled boost through a gm 3 port soleniod.
How do you like it? Whats taper like? Are you using it with all the patches?
I'm thinking about making the switch to it and to use it in conjuction with the
tephra v5.8 for future mods.

Its pretty simple to install and tune once you trial and error settings and get the hang of it - I can tune it now in a matter of minutes. So far its rock solid and I am totally happy with it over the mbc - its nice to have control of the boost curve and make it do what you want.
I have all the patches + psi based control via 3-bar map.....I have everything done you can do to the stock ecu on my car - GM IAT, Map Switch, etc, etc.

Yeah I do - I love it.......took some time to get it all figured out and how it all works but I have it hitting full boost at 3500 rpms and holding 23 psi till like 6000 rpms and then from there it tapers to 20 at redline.

The Tractrix cable has been pushed back again for the X! The good news is that I think they're fairly close to getting the whole ECU flash thing together. I saw a quick pic of an Evo X timing map. So apparently they are making good progress.

Datalogging to a micro sd card would be sweet. Want to see how it
works.

Me too, I didn't even hear about that feature yet. I just want tuning options to become available. Even at this point in time, I'm sure Travis could help set me up with a base tune. The factory tunes on the X are hideous from what I understand. And Ecutek is a ripoff.

Yes all the current options for the X are expensive - kinda like the earlier evo's prior to ecuflash and evoscan. Nice thing is its being developed and that cable is about the only thing keeping it from getting finished. Once developers get there hands on that cable and start disassembling it will have plenty of great features im sure like the current evo.
I would be more than happy to help you out when the time comes.....

- Well I got 7 phone calls between Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
- Then got 9 emails either for price, availability, or scheduling a test drive.
- Appeared in the search results like 800 times
I took it off now because I don't want to actually sell it, but now that I see when it is time I should have no problem at all...and for any of you guys I would say the time is now if you want to upgrade to a X
