Open Source Electric Supercharger

Since there has been much interest in the Phantom electric supercharger, and many people throwing around ideas oh how it could be improved I'm starting this thread for interested tinkerers like myself to share information and brainstorm designs and improvements.

Important things to keep in mind
1. Safety First
Electricity can be cause damage to your car, and more importantly to you. Experiment at your own risk.
2. All ideas are welcome
Feel free to contribute but at the same time make sure you've read the whole thread and are not just rehashing something that's already been brought up.
3. Be Respectful
People have different skill/knowledge levels. Don't make someone else feel dumb just because they asked an honest question.
4. This is open source only
The goal is to share information, not create a commercial product.

Parts

-MAP sensor connector: Sumitomo HX 040 3-way (need to verify)
-Throttle Position Sensor Connector: Yazaki 6-Way (need to verify)
-Crank Position Sensor Connector: NipponDenso 2-way (need to verify)
-MAF Sensor Connector: TS 025 5-way (need to verify)
