Also Rice, what is your opinion on my wastegate mod? It seems to work great at holding the boost but I just wanted your opinion in case I overlooked something.
I started out with a vbox mini, it is a great unit, I combine it with a mim01 (mini input module) to log variables on various test cars.

I just bought the same set up for the institute where I teach, it was around $3250 or so (will take a photo next week of the set up @ work) the only real difference to the performance box drift box option and micro input module, is you can input in EGT probes, more channels and the use of VBOX tools software (if you seriously test etc) and the mim01 is a quality unit that you can use with any other VBOX product later on if you upgrade.

Race logic make a tonne of stuff, but the beauty of the vbox mini and lower spec derivatives is they are self contained, robust designs, they can be transferred between cars, and see the results instantly etc, great for impromptu highway drags or track tests etc etc.

We use ours for brake testing, power testing, data logging, circuit testing predictive lap timing etc.... it is real handy and real easy to use.




Your WG mods look good to me
