I hae been using a fuel pump relay ground, despite its danger, and I also 
expect to swap in a new fuel system very soon.  when that whole system is 
complete, I will probably rewrite the eeprom to gain a higher fuel pump 
cutoff, and hopefully, by then our esteemed colleagues will have the 
know-how to reprogram the boost maps, and the timing curves.

Yeah, my digital gauge reads 1.9 bar when I have 16psi of pressure in the 
manifold.

I _think_ that when the ECU mods become readly available, Ned will have 
very little to offer in the ECU.  In other areas, yes, but prolly not in 
the ECU.  I could be wrong though.
