Controlling boost for better traction, and other means of improving grip Options

[CilverSeliST205]

For a while i was considering buying myself a new toy, Turbosmart E-Boost 2, an EBC with a variety of features, one of them being the capability to map boost against time, rpm or GEAR. Now, I have noticed that breaking the traction on street tires is likely to occur not only on a hard launch from a dead stop, but also at WOT in 1st and 2nd gear short time after going over 10psi. Since this unit can control boost depending on gear i guess we could use it to stay within limits of traction in those gears! yes? no? suggestions? comments?

Since im still on internal WG and my actuator is on 13-14 psi, the EBC itself wouldn't help... Is there a way to lower WG actuaction pressure?? That is without welding the flapper shut and going external.

Racelogic Traction Control - the Supra guys swear by it.

Racelogic Traction Control

I will put a feeler group buy thread together for the traction bars to see if there is sufficient interest before contacting Carl - he is just like any other business man - he will do it if there is money to be made.

My car will be finished by the end of this week I hope. So from then on I can experience of I also have a lot of traction issues. If its are unbearable I will go for the Racelogic TCS rightaway. 18" tires cost a fortune here (the good one's)Not that thats the reason I want TC, the real reason is for the winter/rain period. Already had it with the 3S-GE engine on a Incline slippery conditions+worn tyres going backwards, what an ackward moment was that!

Biggest problem for me will be fitting the wheel sensors. since my car does not have ABS.
Maybe when the time comes, I will get a TRD/Kaaz 1,5 LSD. But I think to much mechanical grip will destroy the tranny in the long run. And spare/junkyard trannies are rare here.

About traction bars, if they are a direct fit for EU GT (which i think they will) I'am also interested but shipping would be a PITA.
