i have a eye on one on ebay that i will likely step on and they generally go in the $200 range with s/h, i will definetley post what i do with it if i jump on it, i am around 300hp now and want close to 400 and think this could be a cheap toy to play with as the turbo i really want is around $1600, i have a good idea on controlling it with a wastegate actuator and a vacuum actuator in push/pull configuration with a seesaw linkage at the rack lever for bidirectional control of the rack, so it will have a preset opening and range for the rack to open the housing up (with the possibility to tweak engagement with a manual bleed valve) and a option to go below that preset for E brake action, toss in a few vacuum control solenoids for the assorted controls to switch from one mode to the other and it could be amusing. but i can't be sure any of this crap i have thought of will be feasible till i get it in my hands


i kinda get this mad scientist thing going and have a hard time stopping

edit
i have a couple pages bookmarked where people are working with the stock actuator but i don't see anything major happening, if someone really wanted to i am sure a stand alone controller could be built but i think to do it right it would drive the cost up above where this unit would be attractive, at the moment its a sub $300 turbo with potential but if you add a $4-600 controller then... i still think a universal controller would sell like hotcakes as people are putting this unit on anything and everything but i am not slick enough to pull off designing one
