The Boost Option Kit hooks up both the oem MAP sensor and theirs. I believe the PFC compares the kit sensor with the atmo reading off the stock one for more accuracy and precision.

Get yourself a Profec B if you want to control boost.

The kit is "NOT" made for the twins. Even if you run parallel, the PFC itself can control boost. There is no need for the map sensor on the twins, since they are not made to run over 16.9lbs.

Because it is simple. There is no wire splicing, plugs in to factory harness. Because when going single I loose the OEM solenoids and whatever was used to control boost on the twins. It's a $350 kit, can not compare with a $600 kit nor did I want to spend that otherwise I would have bought a Blitz I-Color. The kit is just the mechanical part, the electronics is controlled on the PFC. Simple, less equipment.

What he said. I was explained something similar to this from Apexi. That's what the wire connector thig that plugs in to the side of the PFC is for.
