I think one guy has posted his settings for his particular setup, but wish others would as well. Knowing the overboost;kp;ki;etc.. settings for different setups would be nice. Then one could just look up their mods, punch the numbers in, and not worry about hitting boost cut due to overboost. Also would like to remind the newbies to remember A/F ratios when messing with WG preloads and max boost settings. Just because your aftermarket WG allows 20+ psi, doesn't mean your injectors/fuel system can compensate for it. Congrats to N2MB for their efforts and awsome customer support. This will be my fathers day gift from my two girls.
P.S.
For faster installs, look for the splice connectors at your local hardware store. Of course the critical wires need to be soddered for ultimate reliablility.

I've modded/demodded this car twice in an attempt to sell her but just couldn't do it. 3X a charm???
Used the splicers for the WOT box install.
No issues so far
How much of the wiring can be done in cabin if you have a WOT box?
I think just power, ground and TPS... right?
The rest is MAP and the Noid. So that still needs to go to the bay.
Power goes to the windshield wiper fuse in the passenger compartment. That way it is on whenever the key is on, unlike the WOT Box. It makes it easier to change the settings without having to run the engine.
TPS can come from the WOT Box. Ground is at the fuse box.

Thanks and happy father's day!
We do recommend that you don't use those splice connectors. Pretty much all the wires are critical. If they are disconnected, then unpredictable things can happen.
The only wire that can become disconnected without causing a problem is the OBD wire. Then you would just loose the boost by gear. But, it would be hard to diagnose a problem like that if it was intermittently coming disconnected because it might cause the boost to jump around to the wrong settings.
Ok, going to have to spruce up the old sodering skills. That is good info to know. One loose wire and KABOOM? No thanks. It looks like I might be the first one to try this with the ole spring mod. Going to wait on the FM wastegate until I see how this works. I think the stock wastegate is only good for 16lbs? Want to be near the max of the solenoid at least (19.2 lbs?)
On a side note, how difficult would it be in the future to design these to come off of the OBDII port like the diablo or such? I am in no way knocking the install cause it is not that hard, but just curious as to how involved is it to be able to plug into this port and control parameters there?
I would guess it's next to impossible, as you control the noid in a way it wasn't meant to be.
Also, if you flashed a different boost map on the stock ecu, like with a dsp, how would you switch it, let alone save another one?
I think you won't be able to work around having a separate ecu instead of just a flash.
BTW, why do you type everything bold? Kinda annoying
You got it. Yeah, it would be an entirely different product. You're referring to an ECU flash, which will always be limited to basically what the original ECU was capable. An ECU flash also takes many man years to develop and usually some inside information from the OEM. That's why they end up being pretty expensive.
Instead, we have developed an EBC, which controls the boost completely independent of the ECU. That way we are not limited to what the stock computer can do. It can do pretty much anything we want with boost. We do make use of the stock ECU to give us some information, but generally we don't need it. This way we can also make the EBC work on other cars pretty easily.

True, never thought of it like that. Don't know why it's always in bold. I don't check the box for it? I am not quite up with the lingo, but doesn't this mean I'm yelling all the time? HA! Makes since due to my older age and hearing loss.
