Split Second 1.8TBCS ?

Anyone have any experience with the boost control system from "Split Second"? There's a review of it in the latest European Car. This looks like an alternative to a chip...low cost, variable boost and and an LED boost guage. Any comments?

Thanks!

Trash...run...run the other way...no fuel maps...no timing maps...it's a catastrophe waiting to

happen...you're basically running everything right up to the edge of the stock maps...nothing is optimized, it's a cheesy thing to do...that kinda thing is for ricers, if you want more power buy a chip...even the cheapest chip (Neuspeed) would flog the **** out of that boost controller...I'd be more than willing to do a back to back on that one.
