Ok, just installed new controller on Saturday. Went for some drives over the last couple of days... this is very promising. The deletion of the hobbs switch has made the throttle response more graduated and predictable. There is a smoother transition to port injection operation. Most importantly, the sudden throttle heavy input while on freeway at 60-80 to pass people no longer has any oscillation from fuel pump voltage fluctuations. There is no more "wao wao wao wao" of the throttle and rpm when pressing gas hard. Shifts are much smoother also under high throttle. I am testing on xHP stage 3 now and after work today, I will see how she reacts under wot stage 3. I reckon she will still be violent but there will be no more lurching backwards then forwards due to voltage fluctuations of the old ekpm3 unit.
Stay tuned. If this fixes my xHP + PD transmission shifting issues...I will be jumping for joy. And even if it doesn't, I would give this unit two thumbs up for what is has already improved on the car.
