We could definitely integrate motor control into the ecu programming now, but are still limited by storage and recharging. Rob has hit the nail on the head with the goals and limitations of this system. I almost want to keep my brz just to play with the ESC, or even buy one to adapt to my truck.

As far as eliminating turbo tubing...higher boost will still need intercooling and the tubing that comes with that. Maybe what you want is a setup similar to the fa20dit, very minimal tubing.

It looks like we are moving towards a kers oem setup. Volvo is testing it out right now. On a side note... The Perrin op / front pipe are awesome and installed.
