From what perspective, John??
 
The only thing I can see that Tracy might be able to do is add a "Knock" sensor and automatic retard of ignition timing for the Turbo user.  Perhaps a wastegate controller?  I have his Turbo EC2 flying NA because the only difference is the MAP sensor used.  That does change the number of "fuel map" bins but not enough to notice.
 
Since it is a "pressure Density" system (rather than a mass flow system), it provides fuel in response to manifold pressure sensed.  So that would seem ideal for the turbo system.  Just curious as to what you feel you would like to have the Ec2 do for a turbo installation?

Yea. I noticed that. Actually its a fairly true statement. Compare a turbo rotary and a Kiss Lycoming installation and the lycoming wins out on simplicity every time. Pity the price doesn't reflect that. A fair price for a Lycoming would be about $1500 new. 
 
I think I'll fly into Daytona and show these Mistral guys how it's done.  :)

PS - I'm beginning to wonder if Tracy's EC2 is sophisticated enough to handle a turbo.
