That's very interesting and I do appreciate some of the comments re FI.

I am just thinking out loud, but if they can actually have variable boost while the car is in a corner, it might eliminate some problems of a FI engine. All the yaw rates and turning angles are being calculated anyway, so I don't see why they can't apply a variable boost so that you have a more linear torque response during mid corner.

For example, once the car is turning at 3-4k rpm - the throttle response will give no or little boost - ie you have the same throttle response of a NA. As it exits the corner, the boost gradually comes back as the car straightens with your throttle response.

It won't solve all the problems - like the computer with the DCT still gets the wrong gear, but it certainly would be an improvement over a standard FI where all the boost comes in earlier.

The best thing about this is it would actually be ECU development and not much need to be done with the engine.

I tell you what - if this actually works, they better pay me :P
