You're right. You can't resolve ALL issues, but you can get most of
them taken care of. Nothing is 100% perfect.
Again, there's many different ways to do the same thing...but it depends
on application and budget. I'm sure all of us want to run fully
programmable systems, but it's a money issue when it all comes down to
the actual purchase.

Bernd, the fact that it wasn't forced induction from the factory just
means you are starting from further back. The PCM still doesn't
understand positive pressure and your Apexi box doesn't resolve that.
Boost transition issues will still be there. Drivability issues will not
be completely resolved and even with your best efforts you'll be leaving
some HP/TQ on the table.
I guess you just overlooked the part about all the fuel enrichment
stuff. You can't resolve all of the issues of a blower with a simple MAP
tweak.

You have to leave it alone Bernd, because as you have told me directly,
you don't think the PCMs are all that "smart" and it's just a box of
resistors and capacitors, which explains some of the approaches you
take. I guess all that software stuff in there is just trivial and can
be ignored, right?
Ahh, if life in the tuning world were only as simple as you view it.....
