There's only two connections -- one for the TMAP sensor and the MAP sensor. Then the other wires are for power and the CANbus connection.

Make sure you read the instructions carefully .

We already can! You will require a special EWG harness though and I've been using it for a few weeks now.

Any differences? does the power delivery increase?

Thanks Justin...

The EWG harness lets you hit a higher target boost as well as hold boost better through the rev range. Without it, you can only get 2-3 psi over stock which is pretty much Stage 1 status. But higher boost target pretty translates to more power everywhere .

I am just saying its possible to do it, but its not released yet. I am a beta tester for it . He's ignoring all emails about it right now, but he said he'll be releasing it this month I think.
