TSI turbo kit tuning

I recently purchased a TSI ball bearing turbo kit from turbokits.com. I'm looking into getting the end user setup. I have an 06 Accord SE(K24A8 5MT). Will the Ktuner setup work for this kit? Can boost be controlled with the Ktuner? It's a pretty basic kit with internal wastegate set at 6psi.

Your platform supports forced induction, but doesn't support boost control at this time.

I have an 06 Accord SE(K24A8 5MT). I installed the end user ECU today. I noticed a few things while driving. My main concern is that my cruise control won't engage-the main switch makes the "cruise main" indicator come on but the speed won't set. Also, I noticed that when the CEL comes on(I have a rich mixture code because of my intake and intercooler piping), that it clears itself just with a key cycle(turn eng off then restart). Everything else seems to work normally. Any ideas?

If you have an 06-07 Accord with 06-07 ECU cruise should function. We change nothing with operation.

CEL sounds normal.

If my original ECU is a manual, and the end user is from an automatic, would that affect the cruise control operation? I work at a Acura dealer, so I'm going to install my original ECU on Monday. If the cruise control works again, I'll let you know.

This is possible. Please let me know.

So, it's been a while since I've replied. I have tried running the ktuner end user ecu and have noticed that, along with the cruise control not working, It idles erratically and dies every time I drive it. The last 2 years I've been using my stock ecu on 6psi of boost, and just keep my portable scanner with me to erase the Baro code, and MAF code that forces my ecu into limp home mode. I've decided to try to resume figuring out how to fix this issue, and will be calling ktuner soon again, and just hope they don't blow me off this time.

Yikes... stock ECU means stock injectors or incorrect setup. Horrible decision on your part, but feel free to return to that if you feel that was better.

We can't assist with tuning in any way. Contact a tuner.

Idle and driving should be correctable with tuning.

Cruise control would work if using the correct base code, since we have zero to do with that.
