How much boost/PSI can I get from my BEGI-S?
I currently have 5 PSI, in my begi-s GT 2554 turbo, without an intercooler. I believe it will go up to 8 psi, so i want to match an intercooler to what i can get it to. Thanks.
While am at it, I am either going to use begi's intercooler upgrade, but am considering this one from ebay;
89-93 Mazda Miata MX5 T28 Intercooler kit bolt on + BOV:eBay Motors (item 160379221216 end time Nov-24-09 17:55:45 PST)
Good, bad, or ok choice?
Be gentle, i'm still learning. I do know i need a megasquirt, and 5 psi is not enough boost, i will settle for 8.

You should be able to run 25-30 psi no problem
no but seriosuly, you should be able to get away with 8 psi with an intercooler. just listen for knock and be prepared to retard the base timing a little bit of needed.
edit: just noticed you have a bipes unit. turn it to 10.
you have a wideband?

Depends on who you ask. What is your idea of a "reasonable price"? Most people seem to like the LC-1. I've got it, works great, but if you dont RTFM you will have issues. The AEM Uego is also a popular choice. It doesn't read as fast as the LC-1, but from what I hear its quite a bit easier to install. If you are feeling adventurous and aren't bad with a soldering iron, you could try the JAW ( google it ). I think it comes in at under 100 bucks.

Im gonna say go with the LC-1
Ive used the AEM and the LC-1 and there is a noticeable lag in the AEM, which is fine if youre just using it for monitoring it, but it can be very annoying when trying to tune AFRs
