[QUOTE="Paul, post: 172305, member: 9404"] Hellion - you could hook up a wastegate if you had a good standalone, or a good boost controller. Just pulley the car up for a ton of boost, attach a GM boost solenoid to your wastegate, and you'd be able to set up a progressive boost control and limit max boost. There's an article about a similar setup in some Mustang mag this month. I had thought about something like this some time back, and I know from talking to some friends of mine who are good with standalones that it is feasible. I have an AEM in my car, and it has a progressive boost controller built into the ECU. I think the latest FAST XFI has similar capabilities, but I don't have personal experience with them so I couldn't tell you for sure. If I had to do it again, I'd go with an XFI. I know from experience that the AEM doesn't like Ford TFI ignition very much, and the only way to cure the stupid timing errors you get is to attach a crank trigger. If you have to do that, might as well just get an XFI. Wow, that was a lot of acronyms. Carry on. :) Paul. [/QUOTE]
