boost it turbo kit and exhaust temp sensor??

[lightening800]

just curious why the exhaust temp sensor is not used in the boost it kit? I also have a stage 1 mpi kit on my boys viper and it uses the sensor in the same spot as stock, I am just wondering if it would be better to weld a bung in the pipe before the turbo and put it back in there or just leave it tied off to the side.
I do notice the mpi kit is much more like a stock sled, very linear and clean smooth power all the way up. Mine with boost it is a bit lazier until it comes on full boost. Both sleds are identical as for clutching gearing etc. just curious, I would think the ECM would want to see the exhaust temp so it could fuel it properly?.thx

Did you call and ask Niel , must be a reason for leaving it out on his kit ?

they just trick the stock one with a resister you solder in,my guess is they do it so it doesnt mess with the fueling while on boost.

Are both kits the same hp? I would think the clutching should be different. Never heard of a Boost-It kit being characterized as "lazy"

Same boost levels 8/9 lbs each, same clutching, same weights, and we can stay side by side, my boy has a bit of a edge cause he is lighter, when we race up hills. Maybe his kit is more smooth cause it uses stock injectors I don't really know. But besides his kit gets heat soaked if he is hard on his sled, they both pull real good.

Super should be quicker out of the hole because it's connected to the crank. If you can stay with him off the line, the boost it isn't lazy.

Both turbo charged, not supercharged

My bad. Just assumed MPI it was a super. Forgot they make turbos too.
