Also, another random question. Would anyone in SoCal be willing to trade a revised downpipe without the wastegate recirc option for my revised downpipe with the recirc piping?

I want to switch to open dump but when I bought the kit, Gen used the recirculating option.

Bill is available for tuning. He is just booked until almost May. We have a minimum of 3 FR-S/BRZ per week all month long in for tuning (not to mention all the other WRX, STi's, LGT's, OBXT's, Foresters, etc). If you need a tuning appointment and contact Bill directly he will most likely refer you to me for the schedule.

We are testing a new MAP sensor this week that is capable of reading to 28psi. Bill does not recommend Omni sensors. We have had FAR too many failures over the years.

Any word on an ECU controlled boost controller from you guys?

Is this map sensor top secret or is it off of some vehicle like the honda one?

I sure hope the issues you have seen are an exaggerated subset because there are a whole lot of people on here using OMNI for FI...

How do they usually fail and do they cause the motor to blow when they do fail?

I've tuned about 30ish cars with omni sensors now without any issues reported. You definitely can use the take-off honda sensors though. @nelsmar uses them sometimes I believe. They just don't read as high as the omni's.

Use any subaru-specific ebcs, or a generic mac valve (they're all rebranded mac valves anyway) from eBay if you don't mind splicing connections.

This.. I don't understand why omnis aren't liked by bill. He has stated they don't work well but i don't know

I just hope the one put on my car doesn't cause a headache

Probably due to the poorly designed MAP location on the Innovate superchargers that is causing the OMNI MAP sensors to give strange readings. As @jamesm mentioned, I have no worries using them in the OEM intake manifold.

Have been driving the new Full Blown SD base map for a few days now and the car drives smooth as butter. I'm amazed as I haven't been in any NA to Turbo cars that drive so well! Question I had for you guys, When I'm full throttle 4K+ what would you consider a good window for AFR? What would be considered too lean and what too rich?

Good to hear. I've had a few tunes now and none have been very smooth. Very jerky on low RPMS (below 3k). Was that your experience with the non-SD tune?
