There is also a BP FB page if any of you want to follow some of the other stuff going on:

Wait is BP looking for a 7AT to build a kit????? Or this has already been discussed and finalized?

Here's a sound clip of the Boosted Performance kit for you guys.

LMAO I need to stop using my phone to post on the forum!

How are the BP kit owners combating low gear traction issues? Anyone setup boost by speed with an EBC? One of my techs at work set it up on his neon(dont laugh 550 whp sub 11 seconds) and swears by it say it makes it more manageable on the street as well.

Not a BP owner, but you're always going to have traction issues in first and second regardless of boost control. You'll never see a lot of boost in first anyway. Even at wastegate pressure in second, you're going to blow off the tires. Boost by gear is great, but these cars have issues hooking up even before you add 150+ whp.

Get your camber as close to 0* as you can, and get good sticky tires. You shold be fine by doing those two things.

I have 450whp/420ft/tq on my DE. Camber is as low as I can get it with the ride height I have, and a set of 295/35/19" AD08's seems to be doing the job just fine. Pavement and ambient temperature will also be a big factor. Hot day and hot roads will grip much better than cooler day/pavement.

Boost by speed won't work for a BP kit. I can break the back tires loose on waste gate pressure at 80 mph with the base map.

Maybe I miss spoke, I understand NA like traction is out the window, but like Sasha was saying there are ways to aid your traction, that's what I am after. Im not looking for it to cure the traction issues but I cant imagine if you run lowest wastegate boost pressure and gradually up the boost with speed that it wouldn't help? I want tire shredding abilities but sometimes Ill want to hook and go. What tires and suspension are you running m3ch?

If my memory is correct, the lowest spring you can put in those wastegates is 4-4.5 psi or so. That's plenty to blow off the tires all through second unless it's hot out.

Controlling boost doesn't seem like the way to go. I'm hoping ecutek will come through with the traction control feature they mentioned. That or a race logic unit.

:roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

wish in one hand, **** in the other and all. It would be nice, but I'd file that one away under the "Unrealistic hopes" category.

Sure, and I understand what you are going for, I'm just saying boost by speed isn't necessarily the correct way to go about it because the car builds so much torque, so quickly that you would have to limit everything below 100 MPH.

For reference I'm running 7.25 PSI wastegate pressure. You can theoretically run an EBC at double so on a stock block BP kit, you don't really want to run less than a 6PSI spring. Even at 6 PSI, you will need some sort of control, rather it be human or electronic. It can actually be managed pretty well with the throttle once you get used to the car. The kit has a great feel to it and the boost is very predictable.

My setup is far from ideal at the moment. Hankook V12s 305/30/19 at ~-2.5 degrees camber. The plan is to get a camber kit ordered and stuff some 335 RE-11's in there with as little camber as possible. But I'm definitely interested in any other suggestions.
