Well, it has been quite a long time in the making and it makes me very happy to finally post up the fruits of many hours of labor. This car has some very unique features and will hopefully change the way many people think about turboing the IS. I would like to send and great amount of thanks for Jeff and Sean at TurboEast for their hard work and foresight to make this dream come true for me. I also have to show love to my boy Jayson who pushed me to go bigger and better with the car.
The drivability of the car is absolutely phenomenal and the idle is rock solid as if it was stock. My biggest surprise was how fast the car actually spools with the 67mm garrett turbo (this turbo is a new design and was made to TE specs). Also, under the surprise category is the racelogic traction control unit. This unit is the real deal in my opinion and is a must for every boosted IS with big power. With the unit off the car will spin all the way through fourth, but with the unit is on it spins once or twice, catches and goes like a bat out of hell.
The biggest feature of the car and what has kind of been hinted at is the PCS piggyback EMS unit. This unit is absolutely unbelievable in terms of the functions it can control and the tunbaility of the software. This unit is controlling my second fuel pump to kick on only when it recognizes positive intake manifold pressure and can kick it off when i go back into vacuum. Some of the features are that it uses a 3bar map sensor and an independent fuel pressure sensor in order to control certain functions. As far as question go about the unit I feel i should let Jeff handles in terms of his knowledge and how much info he wants to give out on the unit.
