Got the instructions translated into English!
Finally got the instructions translated by Greddy from Japanese into English. The instructions are very well laid out and looks like an extremely simple install compared to most bolt on kits. The file is 930k, so I can't attach it here. If anyone is interested in them PM me and I'll be happy to email them.

Does anyone know a place that sells one?

I have a question as I dont know a whole lot about FI. We have so many Greddy thread going I wasnt sure which to post this in.
Per the instructions Greddy includes it states:
"It is very important that you monitor the boost pressure, and make sure not to over
boost. Over boosting can cause engine damage."
So how do you make sure you dont "overboost". I thought the turbo/emanage was programmed at 5llb of boost?
Can someone enlighten me on this aspect of FI?

teh e-manage only comtrols fuel/ignition timing (to a certain degree)...as i understand it..i think greddy is saying don't put a boost controler on and tell it to go to the max. they are covering their butts..wihch is a good idea if you ask me
BUt as far as i knwo the e-manage doesn't really control boost...but seeming how i don't hav eone i might just me talking out of my tail-pipe:p

Anyone that goes with a turbo kit should always get a boost gauge. The boost is limited by the pressure on the wastegate. Im sure Greddy has set it at 5 lbs but its a good idea to have a boost gauge to make sure.

The Wastegate and BOV do two seperate things. The wastegate will control the amount of boost you will see and the BOV will release the back pressure that happens when you come out of boost. The back pressure will work its way back to the turbo thru the intercooler pipes if you dont have a BOV.

What I've done is install an actuator that opens at a very low boost and then installed a boost controller to bring it up to where I want to operate. That makes it possible to control the rate of boost rise and prevent over-boosting.

Yeah, the backpressure from releasing the throttle bounces all that air back to the turbo causing it to possibly reverse direction until high boost applications.. causing bad spool times and over the long term, bearing damage. I bought a Greddy Type-S BOV and aluminum mounting flange for my kit to help prevent that.
Luckily the MAF sensor is on the suction side of the turbo and not the pressure side, so I don't forsee any MAF issues with idling *crosses fingers* caused by the Blow Off Valve. If I do end up having issues with the VTA Blow Off Valve, I will install an outlet adapter which will essentially turn the BOV into a recirc and solve the problem.. I'll have more info once I get it installed.

So, having read the instructions, they say you can't tune the EManage unit that comes with the turbo kit. Do you think that you actually can't tune it, or they just tell you not to so that you don't go crying to them when you screw it up and grenade your engine?
