looked and saw confusion
There is no real consensus about these electronic boost controllers. How can you pass judgment about them without giving specific examples of use or misuse?
I am interested in hearing from someone who has experience with them.
Are your warnings about damage in regards to manual boost controllers that bypass the ECU? This is not one of them.

Why don't you try it and give us feedback on it?
Ever since I first heard about the product, I've not once read about anyone using it. If you do end up using it, let us know. I'm curious about how it performs.

You do not need to "try it", the idea is flawed. Power is not just turning up boost (see post below
I don't need to touch a red hot poker to know it burns or drive a Yugo to know it sucks. The concept behind this thing is the problem, so no matter how high the quality is or how well executed, it ain't gonna work.

I didn't say that everyone of them use false data to sell their stuff...
Only that a graph is a graph. As you said earlier, I can create a graph with MSExcel and tell you that I used a dyno. Now, we know who we can trust, right? Can Split Second be trusted?
On paper, their stuff looks good. I'm no mechanic, so the only reason I don't buy is that *I trust you guys*... But I would really like to see some real data on this thing, get somebody who tried it...

"Designed for stock" - European Car
Quoting from European Car:
"Boost is limited to 14.5 psi, the limits of stock
fuel availibility on an unmodified system"
EC tested this thing in a stock passat 1.8t and the data that I posted was from the EC tests on a DYnoJet 248 Dyno.
<B> Do you trust that data now?</B>
hmm.....
