I do need that 40%-ish power kick to warrant doing anything at this point. It's been 7 months since purchase so I already know that I like the car stock. The Elise I test drove before I purchased mine was NA and I knew it needed SC so it was added to mine before I took delivery. It widened the power band (rush starts at 4500 rpm as opposed to the second cam opening at 6300 rpm, with cutoff at 8400) and the power delivery is so much smoother...that's how I learned to appreciate boost. Much appreciated, and will look for a ride in a boosted twin soon to validate key assumptions |

I'm a little late to respond, sorry was out of town all weekend. I am running the Innovate base map with the 75mm pulley (CARB legal in Cali).
I've had the Innovate SC on my car since July of last year. Initially it was non-intercooled (@34K miles). I daily drive the car in traffic on the freeway as well as autoxing it at least once a month. I put the intercooler on it in Dec of last year (@46K miles). The SC really makes the car a LOT of fun to drive, both on a daily basis and in autox events. The boost kicks in at about 2500RPMs and pulls hard all of the way to redline. Merging onto the freeway is no problem at all now, you can be way past the speed limit even before you enter the first traffic lane. The intercooler really helps the SC maintain the power. I'd highly recommend you get the Stage 2 kit. Not sure what else to say except that I love the kit. It is a relatively simple install, and I was able to install both the stage 1 and stage 2 upgrade all by myself at my house with a bit of time and tools. Bob

So, if no mechanical difference and very little software difference, I think KW SC is now my favorite for the future when I go FI. And Delicious Tuning seems the one who really supports this platform and this particular SC, so choice of a tuner is also becoming simpler for me |

We have quite a few people running these setups at the track with oil cooler upgrades and that is about it. Cheers, William Knose |

I'm very jealous
Make sure to check back with first impressions of the car after that monster build is complete. You'll have one pretty fast track/street car after that's done. |

how about some video & pics
I'd love to see what adding 20k worth of mods does for this platform.
