Product: SCG-1 Solenoid Boost Controller Gauge

I can include these with the kit for those that are interested.

So does this gauge/bc, allow boost by gear, or am I over thinking it and just dont mash it in first gear? I only have 275's on the back.

No it does not have boost by gear. With a proper alignment - no stance / ridiculous negative camber - and the power level you are aiming for the car should be driveable with a good set of tires. The tires may spin a little depending on how cold they are, but I don't think the car would be stepping out so much that it would be uncontrollable.

I have 275s and first gear is worthless. There's also enough torque to step out on you in 2nd & 3rd when the turbo spools up.

Remember my current ECU has always struggled with idle at a stop. My AFR has never been stoic at idle

But hopefully it doesn't step out to the point that you can't control the car? Even when my car steps out I can still keep her straight without too much effort which is why figured he should be ok.

Now, coming out of a turn 17 at MSR onto the pit straight and getting on the throttle with the rear stepping out is a different/scary story..
