In a way it can. I'm rolling my own with a custom microcontroller setup with a thermocouple in an attempt to maintain IC outlet temperature. I'll also have a variety of other sensors to turn it on in certain conditions (throttle %, boost pressure, etc). Should be an interesting project, since I'll be able to hook my laptop up and read the IC outlet temperature in real time, should I want to. Couple that with the JDM auto spray switch as an "enabler" and the US STi switch for a manual kick, and it should be pretty sweet. Perfect for the Dragon or a nice gravel run.

My name is Alizarin, and I am a nerd.

Roof scoop update: Its at the body shoppe to be painted. It's actually alot bigger than I thought, but I guess it needs to be to cover the vent. I'm wondering if I really will need the STi scoop to make it look even. Time for some research. I should have it (the scoop) back by Wednesday, so I'll take some pics when I get it. He also said that he wasn't very comfortable doing the actual vent install, so now I need to find somebody who does sunroof installs, since this is quite similar, but won't charge me a fortune. Not a problem really, I wouldn't want somebody doing it if they don't have confidence they'll do it right.
