Are you sure about the extra control channel?  In the book 'Maximum 
boost' by Corky Bell he uses two of the aerocharger turbos (and 
intercoolers) on an Acura NSX and to handle fueling he added a rising 
rate fuel pressure regulator from CarTech.
I don't recall the addition of any extra computers.  Hmm...have to take a 
closer look at that chapter.

I don't mean to bitch...just fielding my $0.02 worth.
