So, is this chip adjustable for the PSI settings? (ie-changeable to boost to different levels)
you can purchase a data cable, and download the bt1 program into your laptop, plug the unit it and change it from .5 psi over stock to 5psi... in .5 increments.

Do you have plans on allowing more than 5psi max? The 3.3LTT engine only pushes 9psi+/- factory and I'd love to have the ability to push it a little harder than 15psi on occasion. LOL

at the moment we won't know, due to how much the motor can take boost pressure to the point before blowing up lol.

so GT has what 2 map sensors? so do you need 2 units
no sir, the bt1, takes over the before map sensor, and after intake manifold map sensors, which makes more of a accurate on tricking the ecu with boost levels...

Well, I know that the Kia racing team pushes the 2.0 to about 22-24psi.

After reading much of the research from a few of the other guys moding the Stinger, I can't believe that the 3.3 won't handle 20+psi. Many companies push over 20psi from the factory (WRX STI, Evolution, Alfa Giulia).

There's just so much untapped potential in this drive train! LOL

I'd love to know what sort of gains you are expecting from the 2.0 at 91 octane. The 2.0 is fun, but would LOVE a bit more oomph. :)

Basically this new 3.3l platform hasn't been fully tested out yet. Yes we aren't pushing high boost at the moment on 3.3l cause kia hasn't hit the peak abuse tolerance level yet. On the 2.0t on my personal optima I'm running about 23psi, but lol I've also blown 4 engines. I want to say in about 2-3 years the 3.3l motor will be fully tested, rebuilt to take more and will be the new high power power plant for the kia platform

Hi there, [MENTION=534]Concept-3[/MENTION]! Have you guys had a chance to test the BT-1 on a Stinger strapped to a dyno yet? :)
