I guess shiv has worked out boost for turbo kits (sbd?) with the OFT, so he should be fine for this, but it doesn't seem like it will be as easy of a tune as with the original setup.
The motor and controller are not meant for constant boost....you need complex boost control tables to make this work in open loop. Think of all the wastegate tables in a modern turbo car.

None the less I hope shiv figures it out....would be a great option for those looking for a bit more control.
