I think that their is some confusion about the piggy-back. A piggy-back has no way of directly controlling anything. It is only able to change the current values that are being seen to & from the stock ECU. So a piggy-back will never control injectors PI or DI. Now their are many standalone ECU's that can be wired as a piggy-back and will directly control both our PI & DI. I.E. Motec and Haltech. They both have had processors on the market for @ 5 years now that control direct injectors.

The FIC can 'intercept' the injector drivers and drives the electrical load directly. However the thermal power requirements for driving this DI load are much greater then PI due to the current requirements as well as the multiple actuations of the injectors per each engine cycle. So some work needs to be done to drive them directly which would be needed for boost applications.

what about something like this?

those guys at CP-E come up with some good products and I'm planning to talk to them about possible stuff for our cars.

In general, I would want somthing with much more capability. I.e. Direct Injector Drivers, Timing, Throttle control, A/F control.

My piggy back is mostly just a PITA since I never productionized it. It is no longer self-tuning since I haven't had another WBO2 sensor bung welded into my HKS exhaust. It also causes my car to stall ever so often on startup since 1 of the 2 microcontrollers doesn't boot up quickly enough to keep the motor running. It also still takes up half of my rear seating capacity.
