is there anything that would help weather it be on a daily driver, 1/4 mile'r, or circuit car ? turbo timer perhaps ? i dunno shoot at me need inspiration.

I would like an ar=ttachment to the rod shifter with a microswitch onit so I can run lower boost in first and second and higher in third and fourth.

I am sure that people have made thes in the past and I intend to get one made up, when I get chance.

an electronic thermostat to turn on an electric fan, i dont need one, but sure alot of peopel on here could use one, never beea fan of the capillary type switches most kits come with and the new solid state versions are way overpriced for what is essentially a thermocouple, op-amp and a relay :)

Don't know how complex you want to get but some inexpensive datalogging would be good.
Say Rpm, Map, 2x Air temp (manifold and pre intercooler), water temp, etc. etc.

it would be Ni-On impossible the brakes etc would need wheel speed sensors, remote opperation not to mention some way of bleeding the curley wurleys away from the wheels on acceleration possibly through the transmition somehow, iam not sure how it works, other than computers transfering the power from wheel to wheel.

Hi,
A basic system could work with spark cut and a speed sensor on a non driven wheel....

Was gonna say, surely a system could be arranged where input is taken from a driven wheel and a non driven wheel to deduce when traction is broken. That could then trigger something... say a secondary map on Megajolt 2 designed to reduce power, some kind of override on the throttle or maybe some kind of boost control. Or even better give the driver a gert big electric shock to make him lighten up!

There is no sense crying over every mistake- you just keep on trying til you run out of cake.

Wouldnt minid building a mini that is possible to run an anti lag system, apparently they produce huge amounts of boost even with the butterfly cracked open.

How about a K Type Thermocouple amplifier that would give a 0-5v signal to drive a gauge.

This could be a very cheap way of monitoring Air/Fuel Ratio

I've been searching the net for one this morning and although Magneti Marelli do one, they have a £50 minimum order value.
