yeah read the efficiency thread. but yes it is a great turbo. if you wanted fast spool you can use the T3 hotside. but you have to find room for an external wastegate and deal with the fact that it has a 4" inlet.

my bad guys i was at work and should have put custom, but i have ran into a guy from puerto rico that can build me a header for cheap with the external wastegate since hes real good with rotaries, also also what engine management are people using since mazsport is out of business

technicaly ... all it does is reflash and read ^_^
but flashing the tables so it knows what to do with the increased airflow across the maf, changing the tables to change the afr, masking cel, changing limiters, fan kick on, etc.
yep all its doing is flashing, dont forget you can monitor values from the obd2 !
not connected to a boost controller though^_^, though i like my little greddy profec

So someone enlighten me? Cobb AccessPORT is a flashed based system correct, how would i be able to use a digital boost controler like greddy profec, would i have to get an ems like HKS OR Greddy, or AEM to use with so i can change boost levels on the fly,

Not sure where you are going with this. It's no different than connecting a manual crank boost controller. I am using an Apexi AVCR and it works fine.

An EBC (like the GReddy ProFec you mentioned) is a complete standalone system. Even in an STi (where the factory PCM controls boost) people upgrade to standalone boost controller systems.
Dude, you're local. You can come take a look at my car anytime you want. Or join AZMC for the Dyno Day at UMS on the 28th and see it all in action.
. How much are you paying him to make the manifold for you?

I mean this in the nicest way possible, if you have to ask these questions, you really have no business going FI. I knew more than you do and I did my own research and still blew my engine because I didn't know what I was doing. Two years later, and after a **** ton of research, I feel that I now have enough knowledge to keep from blowing my motor less then 5k miles down the road. Take the advice that others are giving and look into what they are telling you, it may convince you this isn't what you want to do.

I wonder if that is just how he talks or if he was drunk when he typed that. If it was just an oversight then you may want to add "proof reading" to your research list. Here, I'll fix it for you.
Ok, well that’s understandable if you don’t think I need to go FI, everyone has their own opinion to their own word. As for as research, I have done some, but I have been busy and stopped when the Cobb Access Port came out. As far as blowing the engine, **** happens. I always wanted to go FI but could not justify the price for a kit when I know I can get it done for a lot less and the way I want it. I do take advise form others, especially ones that have been in the game before I was born, but this is the route I’m going to go, and that is just that.
