I saw in the Youtube post a guy running a blow thru turbo at 9lbs. no problems.
Interested to see what they say about the MPI system under boost. Everything I can see about them, down to tech support, seems great.

Here is my response from Fitech:

Hi Charles
I don't have a timeline for the go port's release just yet, but
hopefully within the next couple of months.
Our system is probably the most plug-and-play you find.
Our ECU will control the timing, the pickup and distributor must be a
two wire magnetic pickup, nothing else will work.
Our system will offer full timing control with boost timing retard, it
will support up to 25 pounds of boost.
Our fuel pressure requires a constant 58 psi, the volume depends on how
much horsepower you're trying to produce 340 LPH pump support up to 800
hp on forced induction.
Any custom harness modifications will have to be done yourself, all our
systems are premade.
They been holding up to Florida airboats in a few other things, but we
are not Coast Guard approved.
Or do we make any claims to be Marine friendly.
Just to build a proper and adequate fuel system which would be
determined by the amount horsepower you are going to cover.
Any other questions let me know

Pretty impressive. I'm going to be building my Mustang soon and need a new fuel injection system. I might just buy the 600HP version for it seeing that it handles boost. While I'm building my 347 I see no reason not to run it on one of my 454's. I'll be a guinea pig.

Ok, followup. First let me say, great customer service!!! They have emailed me and called me multiple times concerning my questions about supercharging/turbocharging their system.

Now, ALTHOUGH they tout that they have "supercharger ready" systems, that is a bit of "misnomer" at this point. Because their initial offerings were designed to hit the biggest demographic, the carb-to-efi swap, ALL of their sensors (except temp and o2) are built-in the TB and they read exclusively off the TB ports. At this juncture, they have no way to read "boost" through the MAP sensor unless it shows boost at the TB, and since it is not able to be modified to externally reference, there is no way to show the computer real-time "boost" unless it is BLOW-THROUGH at the TB.

To Use it in it's current configuration for "draw-through" EFI (like a roots system or intake side turbos), you generally set it up as a "Carb". You do get the advantage of 02 map changes and the ability to change things through their interface screen, but you have to go in manually and set it up to change spark functions, etc. The tech recommended just using a standalone dist and box like MSD. I was totally bummed. I had it in my brain that their yet to be released MPI system would bolt on and go, but not so.

Not to give up hope!!! He said they were testing to provide an EFI system in the same price-points where the MAP could be externally referenced to read real-time boost from the manifold and control all aspects of a boosted engine, just like it can a NA engine. (Like they advertise now, but can't) He projected in the next 6-8 months that a full (and truthful) "boost-ready" root type blower system will be available that is fully self-contained and self learning. Type in CI, boost perimeters (advance, retard and AFRs) and hit the key. Less than $2k Multiport EFI per motor and a 6-wire hookup!

For NA street rods, Procharger/Vortech guys, this appears to be great stuff. I have time before I turn the key on my Resto, so I can wait.

Great feedback!

I have a Vortech and want a system sooner than later and plan on pulling the pin this week for the 1200hp adder plus system and will keep you all posted. I'm curious if it would be worth waiting for the MPI system?

For you it looks like a piece of cake! Bolt on, change the water temp sensor and drill a hole in your exhaust for the 02(They have a Clamp style bung that doesn't even need to be welded) and hook up 6 wires. Answer some questions and fire it up. Takes a bit for the ECU to figure it all out, but gets better as it goes they say.
