Default Totally variable.....>>

Since you can set the relief valve wherever you want, the boost can come on like stock, or kick in early because it manages release to the rest of the system (by restricting boost pressure to the Wastegate therefore keeping it closed). I've got the regulator (For setting Max boost) set for a nice conservative 20 PSI with no spiking.

Default Cheap......

$60 for all the valves and fittings. I'm not sure this will fix your GIAC bugs though Steve, and I wouldn't hold my breath on them....

Reliability should be fine as I'm running it through the stock N75....everything else is just pneumatic control...

Default Re: whats the problem?

Thanks for the call Moses,

I am having "issues" with the X(FMIC) chip with spikes in the boost (20-21 back to 8-9psi) and Jeff Moss had sent the "data logs" to Garratt but I've not heard anything since (this was late November).

Would really love to have the car hold 19-20psi with no spikes. Look forward to speaking to G and thanks for helping out.

ps - still have the car cover? $20 per month ok (jk)
