the auto difference will only be mapping anyway, the power is limited due to them not wanting to pop gearboxes every 10 mins.the engine itself is not any different., overboost is just controlled via the ecu using an amal valve as most turbo cars are so again not really a big deal :P

megasquirt is a complete engine management setup, controls fuel and ignition.
has boost control,(with a complete boost map)
launch control,
traction control
flat shift (more friendly version of antilag)
ability to control nitrous and water injection.
+ tonnes of other stuff too :P

you can run it pigy back if you want just controlling fuel and letting the stock ecu control spark or vice versa, but it is completly stand alone if you want it to be, and is in my 306, (theres no original wiring in my engine bay at all :P)

if your interested in silly fast volvos head over to turbobricks forum
