Et30 I am very familiar with brian and steve. Do you know mike t.'s jetta, the one that broke brians record. C&M in nyc are my mechanics, both are boost nuts. I would love to have them do something, just have to find the money.

has anyone successfully installed a standalone or true "full" piggyback on one of our cars?
I know it "will" work, but without the "how" part it's pretty useless.
i'm very interested

..........Kleemann has something similar in their ML63TT. Their's is a stand alone unit. This however is boost limited to 0.7bar.

.......if you want to run 12PSI of boost, your immediate problem is not engine management. Your immediate problem is compression ratio. You would first have to rebuilt your engines internals to handle the boost, plus you would need to have custom made low compression pistons. No for the faint hearted. With low enough compression and reinforced engine internals, you might be able to get away with boost sensitive fuel pressor regulators and larger injectors. This is exactly what I have done currently. I do not know if my car is any faster but I am running 8.5:1 CR, 12Lbs of boost and stock Kleemann ECU tune. Like I said earlier, I do have a CANBUS adapter in case a stand alone engine management becomes neccessary. I did all this to go the TT route, but I simply love my car as it is right now.

ya, i understand all the other work involved.
I'm just stating the hypothetical situation where i simply can't not have full tuning capability and have it run safely- then what?

..........best way to describe is a wireless module to module communication in the car. The traditional wires that things like remote car starters and engine mnagement units hook up to do not exist. You first need to convert the wireless to a wired system.......hence CANBUS adapter.

yeah, that's definitely true.
Here's to hoping my psc1-003 is flexible enough for the power numbers i feel safe running with a "stock" motor

i don't think it's all about stuffing a turbo in the car !
It's about installing the turbo and having everything function like facory
but have the dyno numbers high...........

yes, but what we're saying is---
it's easy to get it in there and plumb things up/hard to get it to run right since we haven't cracked the computer...

Its a Bosch unit and there should be software out there that can allow you to adjust the fuel maps and timing maps. The various aftermarket tuners are doing it, they just aren't sharing the secret.

yea, totally agree with you.
However, despite all the stuff i've done to the car in the year i've owned it- i don't have infinite deep pockets. Anything that is done to the car needs to be done by me, and often done using used parts etc. or else it isn't going to happen.
Therefore, until someone shares the info of what will work I can't outlay the funding to make it happen.

I know that I've seen a few 202s with an SAFC. They basically modify the signal from the MAF and trick the ECU into adjusting the injector impulse so that you can run larger injectors.

yeah-
i'm running fmu and splitsecond psc1-003 (splitsecond piece is half installed, will know if it works more tonight)
i have no timing adjustment and can only modify fuel trim in closed loop

...........good luck with it. You seem to be the only one in the thread that has understood the issues involved. They are probably ultimately soveable, but not if we refuse to acknowledge they exist. There is too much hype on this topic, but not a single solution. This is probably why a solution has not been found. Everyone wants to ignore that CANBUS exists.

Drew, I would search GregC posts as he used the adjustable split second unit with much success. You will be able to pull timing where my system runs probably close to full timing and relies on the knock sensors..which is ghetto and not good. 1 of the many reasons I don't/can't drive my car in hot summer. I'm curious to your outcome as I will need to upgrade to this unit if I want to add a 1lb or 2 of boost.
For now I would also look into a good H20/meth injection to act as another bandaide tunning device. Solid cheap insurance. Get one with alot of brains and you can set inputs off of IAT's, boost, MAF, RPM, pretty much any signal. check out coolingmist
