	Hmm, good question....anyone else care to answer? I'm not sure.

	I've never tried using an aftermarket EFI system to control boost. The
current EBCs in the market utilize fuzzy logic programming. Am I safe to
assume the EFI's boost control output is basically just an activated
vacuum valve, set to bleed vacuum when it hits a certain amt of boost?

	The project car was "The Horse With No Name", a 95 Mustang that they
later gave away in a contest. For the record, the head mechanic (at the
time of the article) and I are no longer affiliated with Dyno Sport
Performance when the place changed ownership in June.
