Hopefully when www.baschboost.com comes online, it will answer most of our questions. If Chris Wilson (SoS) has anything to do with the web page design, it should be a very good site.
I hope the web site will answer questions.. But people were making claims about this setup that implied they had knowledge of it, e.g. "it does seem that the BBSC users who have the latest setup are getting more boost earlier."
So I just wanted to know the details... Who are these users, other than Andy and his heavily modified low-comp built prototype setup? How many are installed? What are the specs on boost? How much power are these cars making and at what RPM? How much does this setup cost? What, if any, other mods are recommended (e.g. does it need the aftercooler since it builds more heat?)
If the details aren't available, why are people making it sound like this is a tried, tested and available solution?
As I've said many times I think there is a lot of potential here, but these "vaporware" claims (by people OTHER than Mark himself) really undermine the credibility of any dicussions and frustrate those of us who are trying to learn more. In fact, they are just as bad as the people starting or propagating third or fourth hand rumors or innuendo about problems with various FI setups with no factual evidence to back up their claims.
Let's discuss facts. Let's discuss what is available, what the specs are, how it performs, how much it costs, what the pros and cons are, etc. And if we are going to discuss what might be, or could be, or we hope (or know) will be, let's preface our comments as such.
This has nothing to do with Mark or the BBSC in particular, it applies to any discussion.
