Electronic Boost Controllers w/ APS?
I'm wondering if you can use an electronic boost controller on the APS TT kit? Since I'm in Cali my tuner will have to recalibrate some of the software that comes with the kit due to the 91 oct. Will I be able to simply adjust the boost with a EBC or will I need multiple custom maps for different boost levels. How do I get multiple maps?

Yes you can run an EBC with the APS TT kit, I have the Blitz SBC i-color that I had mounted on the dash:
I'll keep you posted when I get first hand experience with the unit, my car is still at the shop finishing up on the work and SD tuning.

Mounted several EBC and tuned the cars in Speed Density mode....that way you can switch your boost and the tune is all set.

It really depends on the year of the Corvette and the skill of your tuner.
I believe the the 2005 cars have 2-3 bar SD tuning available. So you can tune for a wide variance in boost pressure relatively easily.
The 2006/2007 cars do not have a plug and play for this option yet, and may never. The computer is different. From what I see, most tuners are tuning with the MAF and then using the PE tables after the MAF hits its limit. This solution works, although it can cause some driveability problems depending on how much fuel you need to dump using PE and where the WOT point is set. You can't safely turn up the boost without retuning.
Another option is to use a progressive Methanol solution. As boost rises, more methanol is sprayed...increasing octane and fueling. This will work within a fairly narrow range of boost changes. Not the safest way to tune for boost variations either.
I plan on running the E-boost 2 on my APS TT car; Tach, boost controller, Alky/NOS output and it all fits in a 2 1/16 gauge.
