Got Boost?

Busted knuckles.
This is what boredom gets you, busted knuckles. :/
I have a spare Avic R Boost controller left over from my Lincoln project. I bought it in Japan, but little did I know the ***** thing only read kPa, and no PSI. Next time I go to Japan, I'll make it a point to stop by the performance shop where I got it from, and smack the salesman upside the head. Hard. "Does it read PSI?" I ask him. "oooooh, yes. PSI, Kilopascal, it good unit". "Yeah, I know it's a good unit", I thought to myself. "Futaba does make nice electronics." It does graphs, engine rmp vs load, etc etc. BUT IT's IN ****** METRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grew up on metric, but that was so long ago....
[/rant]
So, I got a US version for the Lincoln, and now it was either sell it or install it in my PSD. It obviously doesn't do much right now besides read boost in kPa, but eventually, when I get the non VGT turbo upgrade, it will come in handy to actuate the wastegate. For now, it's only eye candy.
I'll post some pics up if anyone REALLY REALLY wants to see it. I promise you, you're not missing much without it being fully hooked up.
