I live at 5000 ft above sea level. I want to go FI, but I worry about over-boosting my engine when I take a road trip to sea level. I also drive up to the mountains 9,000-12,000ft.
So far it seems like the only options with on-the-fly adjustable boost is either a pulleyed-down Centrifugal with a wastegate and boost controller or a twin turbo system like Hellion with a boost controller.
I have a '17 6spd daily driver and want 500-600WHP. I'd even be happy with 430 WHP. Only current mods are a 3" MBRP catback exhaust and 20" wheels (305/35 rear).
I've heard turbo cars aren't great for manuals, and the tuning and setup for a boost controlled Centri is pretty complicated too.
The better highway fuel economy with a turbo would be nice to stop less for gas on road trips, but I don't think I could easily install a turbo kit. The Procharger sounds much simpler to DIY.

- Since my powertrain warranty is up, would FI void anything else on the warranty?
- Would two 55mm ball bearing P1-X turbos have noticeable lag? I plan on tracking the car a few times this year.
- Any suggestions for one method over the other?
