Controlling boost for better traction, and other means of improving grip Options

[CilverSeliST205]

For a while i was considering buying myself a new toy, Turbosmart E-Boost 2, an EBC with a variety of features, one of them being the capability to map boost against time, rpm or GEAR. Now, I have noticed that breaking the traction on street tires is likely to occur not only on a hard launch from a dead stop, but also at WOT in 1st and 2nd gear short time after going over 10psi. Since this unit can control boost depending on gear i guess we could use it to stay within limits of traction in those gears! yes? no? suggestions? comments?

Since im still on internal WG and my actuator is on 13-14 psi, the EBC itself wouldn't help... Is there a way to lower WG actuaction pressure?? That is without welding the flapper shut and going external.

what tire do they put on the stock SRT-4's?

No the issue is not only launch, even on a roll at any rpm point in 1st and 2nd gear stompin WOT will make my wheels spin after i reach higher boost level kindasad.gif

yeah, mine does the same thing... but i have a feeling that even if you turn the boost down to 7psi, it will still be enough to break you loose.
