[Diy_efi] New to list, have a question about speed density and turbos

Hi everyone!
This is my first post to this list, and I've only just
recently become very interested in EFI. I'm
considering building a setup to replace my current ECU
(I have a '90 Talon Tsi AWD). I will probably base it
off of an Atmel AVR.
Anyway, my car is turbocharged and is equipped with a
Karman vortex type mass airflow sensor. From what
I've read, speed density is a better set up overall,
especially for turbos, and I would like to use it in
my design. I am fairly knowledgable about how both
systems work.
My question is this:
My car can reach full boost before I am at full
throttle, IE, I might reach it at 80% throttle. The
ECU will think that this is the maximum airflow,
although I know much more will enter the engine at
100% but the pressure will not increase, thus I will
lean out. What is the best way to compensate for
this? I would prefer to be able to do this without
needing a wideband O2 sensor.
Should I just use an acceleration enrichment table
that is active above a certain boost level and
correlate it with throttle position and tune it with
my EGT gauge? That would be tedious but doable. Is
there a better way (calculations are nice...)?
Thanks in advance!
Over and out,
JeremyB.
