This is without extra ducting (because it hasn't been necessary). If needed I have another option for that. Battery recharge rate is nearly double as well. Data coming soon.
Good news, thanks for the update. I have missed the newest developments past the first few data points that came in from the first round of track testing with the overheating controllers. I like the ESC concept and design but in execution, specifically for a road course application, the boost curve leaves a lot to be desired even if the charger and controller are working fine. I understand that every PSI counts even if its 1psi at redline because its non-parasitic! I'd love to see the TQ250 with a motor that spins the compressor fast enough to make more than a few PSI of boost in the upper rpm range, but that may be hitting load limits down low pretty easily. I hope they figure out how to build ESC boost progressively like a full time SC.
