Yes, it build in with Torque Pro and it's functional. As far as I recall, you'll need to:
1) settings -> Units -> Use PSI -> unchecked.
2) Realtime info -> add display -> select type of display -> pick your own display -> add sensor -> select Turbo Boost & Vacuum Gauage.
It'll display booster instead of vacuum and appear + and - bar reading.

Ryan,

It will only read as high as your manifold pressure sensor (or MAP) will read. If you happen to have an OEM MAP sensor it will only read to just above 5 PSI.

Anyone upgrade their clutch? If yes, what brand and model? My BRZ is a daily driver. The clutch is feeling kind of weak after installing the Innovate SC. There seems be several options with wildly different price points and it would be great to hear what this group has done. I am not looking to boost the hp/tq on my car much more than it is now (perhaps the 70 mm pully, an intercooler, and a header), so I don't think I need something like the HKS clutch which can take up to 700 pounds of torque. Right now I am debating between the ACT SB7-HDSS and the Clutch Masters part (but I am not sure as between the FX100, 250, or 350). On the ACT part, they have two flywheel options: a "prolite" and a "streetlite". I was shying away from the "prolite" version because the descriptions says, among a bunch of sales stuff, "reduced drivability".

Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you hard on the clutch? Are you feeling it slipping? (Under high load, Revs should climb fast but the car itself wont propel forward as much as before)? I ask because the stock clutch is adequate for the torque levels this supercharger produces.

From what I have seen people start running into clutch hold problems with the clutch at ~230+ lb ft.

I have upgraded clutches on previous cars I have owned and I am trying my best not to do it on this car. Daily Driveability always went down in quality with an aftermarket clutch.

Is that 230 lb ft to the wheels?

Correct. Somewhere around there. There isn't enough data to pin it down exactly but from a few people with turbo kits, this seems like a reasonable estimate for now.

I felt the clutch slip yesterday. Am I hard on the clutch? Well, sometimes. I am not newbie to driving manual -- its pretty much all I have driven for the past 26 years. But the clutch does seem to have a very soft feel to it.

By bolting on the rev works header... (no tune adjustment yet)

(blue is the Borla EL)



Relevant mods:

70mm pulley
91 octane
header back exhaust

thanks. just ended up grabbing a Borla UEL from @RedAlert mainly to keep the primary cat/heat sink out of my engine bay, and to tide me over until @Jason@Nameless releases their header, or someone copies their design again and beats them to market (i KID! i KID!)

70 mm pulley:

For those that may be thinking of trying the 70mm pulley on pump gas and no intercooler... I would advise not to. The heat generated by the small pulley cancels out the benefit of extra boost. A lot of timing must be pulled out of the tune in order to run this pulley.

My 75mm 91 octane number was 216 and the curve was much smoother. The fine learning was rock steady all the way to redline. The 70 mm causes the fine learning to freak out a bit in the upper rpms which is reflected by the rough curves.

That being said...the fan used during these dyno runs was pathetic. The front end was obviously not being cooled very well. The power feels silky smooth on the street and it does feel noticeably torquier everywhere in the power band vs the 75mm.

Throw some corn in that thing

Question for you guys. What is the best vacuum source to "T" off of for my boost gauge? On the automatics we do not use the brake booster line on the rear of the supercharger so I was thinking of connecting it directly to there without tapping into anything. I read that you can tap into the brake booster line too as long as it's before the check valve. Is this correct and would that be a good source?? Suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

Just remove blower from plenum and drill and tap a port for the blower. Best to do off the car so proper clean up and deburing can be performed. During reassembly remember the allen bolts for the blower to the plenum are only torqued to 15 lb's of torque. could also do the same thing for the map sensor plate.
