This was in the Detroit News yesterday: Does anyone have any experience with them?
The e-Boost2 system manages up to six boost levels. For drag racing, it can provide a different boost level for each gear.
Company puts turbocharger in driver's hands: Australia-based Turbosmart lets motorist manage boost levels and injection systems.

An Australian company has introduced a product that helps drivers manage the turbocharging function of their engine. A turbocharger increases an engine's power output. It uses the engine's exhaust gases to spin the fan blades in a small turbine that pumps high-pressure air into the combustion chamber to produce an enhanced fuel burn.
For example, the stock four-cylinder engine in the Mazda Miata generates 142 horsepower and 125 foot-pounds of torque. The turbocharged Mazdaspeed version of the same motor makes 178 hp and 166 lb. ft.
Turbochargers are especially popular in Australia, and Aussie-based Turbosmart Pty. Ltd. recently launched its e-Boost2 boost management system that allows a driver to manage various turbocharging functions. For example, the system and its gauge can be used to monitor and control not only boost levels, but such things as water spray (to cool the turbocharger) and methanol or nitrous injection systems.
The gauge also offers a shift warning light system so shifts are made at peak power points and so the engine isn't over-revved. The e-Boost2 system manages up to six boost levels. For drag racing, it can provide a different boost level for each gear, then reset itself when you hit the brakes at the end of a drag strip.
For those living in the mountains, where horsepower is lost in thinner air, the system can change boost levels to maintain power despite altitude. Turbosmart launched in 1996, introducing e-Boost in 2002 and winning runner-up honors at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show, a showcase for auto accessories and performance parts, in the best new performance racing product category.
The e-Boost2 system and gauges are available at some automotive parts stores and through Johnston Research Performance ( www.jrponline.com). Retail prices range from $599 to $649. For additional information, visit the www.turbosmart.com.au Web site or call (443) 557-0086.
This is not an ad. I have no affiliation with these guys, just asking the question. . .
