If he is actually in Houston, I would love to crash his engine test, and perhaps trade notes. His website didn't give any hints to where he was or how to contact him (other than his work email).

Whoa! Don't buy one of these yet. I have one on my turbo installation on my RV9, as it was claimed that it could be used to maintain a constant MAP by absolute pressure reference, but so far I haven't figured out how and there is no hint as to this in the manual. I need to contact the manufacture directly about this, before I can say yea or nay, but so far it has only functioned as a really expen$ive differential controller.
    Unfortunately I'm currently loaded down with way to much workload as I'm currently attending tech school and flying home on the weekends (commercial) to try to be a new Dad, so it will be at least another month and a bit before I'll have time to go flying again at which time I'll further test the E-boost and report on it to the list. Until then save your money.
