I have one... was going to try and control it, but it uses CAN(controller area network) and I don't have a dodge to figure out all the coding or time. So unless you can figure that out the actual electronic on the turbo are useless to you. I believe Delphi makes a PWM(pulse width modulation) control...

From the looks of things you started with a certain goal on the first page, but by the time you got to the end, you went out of control and built it up huge!
