Joey think you might want that new msd programmable turbo launch controller. Just won the "Best New Performance Racing Product" at the 2004 SEMA show, thought of you when I saw this post, sorry hehe. I'll go ahead and post all the info from msd's site here so you guys can read it.

This stand alone microprocessor boost controller is exactly what-over-the-top turbo powered cars need. This Control uses an extremely fast microcontroller to control boost pressure via an electronically operated waste gate valve.
Through easy to use Pro-Data+ software, you can control the amount of boost pressure used during the burnout and map a boost curve based on time for the launch (up to 12.5 seconds). Control over the boost pressure is achieved through a PWM output that controls a three way electrically operated air valve that is installed between the turbo and the waste gate actuator. (This can also be programmed to your particular actuator.) To help in setting up and tuning the Controller, there is also an acquisition file that records the engine rpm, manifold pressure and the pulse width modulator output. After a pass you can save and download the file to review each pass.
  • Absolute control over a turbo’s boost pressure during the launch through advanced programming.
  • Map a boost pressure curve based on time from a PC.
  • Ideal to control boost pressures during the holeshot to aid in getting the tires hooked.
  • Program boost pressure that is used during the burnout.
  • Record and review 20 seconds of pressure and rpm information.

how much does that msd launch system cost? prolly an arm and torso. :P
