a video won't show much......about the only thing worth seeing is that you can hold the rpms steady and start boosting....

What rpm do you start seeing boost? I will install mine next week when I get my car back.

I hope it will work with a 5at at least with launching the car since I can't get my rpms very high from a stop.

Any other testers have any feedback? We really want to start selling this as soon as we get confirmation from an Auto owner.

I've been telling Dan to get his slack *** up and get it done for the Auto's. I think he might do it this weekend since he will be done with Finals and what not tomorrow.

What all do you want to know or what do you want to see?

I'll say this.... It's a blast to mess around with especially when setting up next to someone, Example... going around 40+ in second near 4K+rpms, slightly press the brake and then just pretty much floor it, watch the boost rise and hear it spool up, let off the Brake and just hold on and the car jumps and really takes off nicely with no lag. I brake boost all the time just for ***** and giggles now wherever i'm at.

You should be able to rev it as high as you want with the brake on.

SFLG35 - any updates? How about anyone else? I think I've only heard back from 2 of the 'testers'.

I havent installed the unit yet, been busy organizing a vacation Im going on this Saturday. I'll be honest and say its about a 60% chance I'll have time to do it this week and report back. I hate doing any electrical work, so Im having a friend help me, I know its only 4 wires but I gotta drop the UTEC down to tap the 1 wire going to the ECU.

burnouts also work, but it is a little tricky.

At first, I sidestepped the clutch and spun the tires, but as soon as I pressed hard on the brakes, I stalled out.

So, I tried again. this time, I was able to press the clutch and brake in with my left foot. my right foot raised the rpms, and then I moved my left foot off of the clutch and planted it firmly on the brake pedal. At that point, I was finally able to roast the bolognas!!!

Great job Kevin.....

Kind of new to brake boosting, and so far I see this work well when already moving but will this work building boost from a stand still?

It won't go up for sale until we get a few more reviews.

You can't build boost if there is not load on the motor. If the car is sitting still, you can't build boost (unless you have the brakes locked up).
