Have you considered the Phantom control module, or does it not have the necessary adjustments to work with the greater capacity of the compressor and motor you have chosen?

I will say that Rob has done a tremendous amount of experimentation and testing with the Phantom design and I honestly don't expect I will see as much boost as he's getting. He's doing a lot of design and custom machining like fitting larger then standard compressor wheels to small housings.
My design is all about being low cost (somewhat), easy to build, and very very flexible. It's more of an experimentation platform then something intended to achieve peek performance. It will support a variety com compressor sizes, motors, and voltages. Even my controller should be fairly easy to assemble by someone with some basic electronics/soldering experience.
If you really want more boost I think you'll probably need to look into higher voltages and/or a geared system that will allow for higher compressor speeds.
Sadly with winter here I probably won't be doing much if any actual testing until spring. Lots of low end torque doesn't seem like a great idea on snow and ice covered roads.
