IIRC On the Atom 3S, TMI uses a Borg Warner EFR 7163 turbo. Based upon power output of almost 400whp, I'd say that's likely to be the setup. But since it's an \"aftermarket\" setup on an originally N/A Atom 3, it may be different.\r\n\r\nBoost control is likely the same Hondata setup that's used on the new Atom 4. From what I understand, the control has on the fly selectable settings, but I do not think it has boost by gear. Assuming the above, I would also guess that the boost control solenoid is a 3 port setup. Unless TMI is using an aftermarket dual port internal wastegate actuator like a Turbosmart or Tial.
