@ Grantmac, I suspect an MS3 would also be able to perform this sort of direct control, but I couldn't say for sure.
This will allow me to eliminate the need for an additional Microcontroler making the whole system that much simpler. I probably still will be using some form of Microcontroler but it will just be used for monitoring the battery charge, and switching maps on the Unichip. This will turn the supercharger on/off based on either a manual switch, or turning it off automatically when the battery charge drops below a set level.

yes and no. It can control a boost output, but it actually would be reading it from a MAP sensor in order to control and monitor the boost levels on a typical FI setup. I'm not sure how you would monitor the pressure on this one.
