MiamieNeSeX is infamous around these parts

Boost

I am curious as to how much boost you guys are running both stock and with upgrades. Also do you use the factory ECU, some sort of piggy back system or a stand alone like Motec or AEM.

Is the factory ECU feild programable (a/f ratio timing, etc)? I read on your board that some go with bigger turbos, I would think that throws the factory ecu out the window.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think that AEM or Motec make anything for cars other than a few domestics and Jap imports.

Is there a big lag difference between a stock 0.7 to a 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 bar?

It depends on which turbos you are using.

I have stock turbos (non x-50) and I run 1.0 bar with rare peaks to 1.1. Since they are stock turbos, the lag is the same.

Bigger turbos may have more lag.
