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.

well with pretty much any shock...given a few hours i could come up with a bracket to place it in the right spot depends where you want to mount it though...firewall, strut housing?

I wouldn't mount a torque bar to the strut housing...LOL.

sorry i was brain farting on terminology....i ment the same place where we mount the strut bar too....the frame/shell watever you want to call it is strong enough and i've seen on a few cars placed there...

but the way i see it is that the torque bars are ment to stop forward and backward movement so why not mount 1/2 on the back firewall that attach on each side of the motor? or sumthing of that nature
