Message I've always tossed around the idea of using one of the circuit diagrams posted here by other members to build a safety boost warning light. I've finally found someone interested in designing and producing the printed circuit boards in small quatities and now I'm trying to gauge if there's enough interest to build more than just a prototype.

Bascially the board will connect to the TPS signal and the stock boost control solenoid lead at the ECU. When safety boost is detected, it will light a warning LED (remotely located anywhere you choose) as well as trip a relay to cut power to your EBC solenoid limiting you to wastgate boost pressure. Because the ECU also floats the gound to the factory BCS at idle, a comparator circuit is included to keep the LED from lighting up at idle and only when on the throttle.

Looks like I can get them built for a retail price of ~$40 according to our initial estimates. Small quantity printed circuit boards constitute a majority of the material cost. At that price, is anyone interested?
