I really appreciate your continued insight and knowledge of this system. It's still quite something to watch the pioneering of a device that has such potential and will likely be commonplace in only a few years time.

The ecu tie in was just another controller that looked at throttle position and rpm to decide to turn the sc on or off. You could also select different boost levels. The was no variable on off though, it just looked for 90 percent or greater and engaged the ESC.
It was decided that picking different boost levels wasn't valuable because we are dealing with so little already...especially at redline...who wants to pick between 2psi or 1psi at redline? Also it obviously couldnt "crank up the boost" you always have the 5psi max to 2psi at redline.
The only thing that I may ask Rob to try and integrate is a 2 switch engagement... If it is even possible...set the first switch at about 60 percent throttle and make it only run the compressor at half speed... Once it gets to 90 percent throttle it goes to 100 percent boost.
This would help with the highway lower acceleration where you don't want to go WOT but you want to move faster than NA and realistically your car is already running in closed loop anyways.
