1. A turbo-boost controlled intake system for providing greater control over vehicle performance, the system comprising:
an air filter to entrap particulates flowing within an airstream into an air intake of an engine;
an intake tube to conduct the airstream to an air intake;
a control module for signaling an increase in manifold pressure before releasing the pressure through a waste gate to maintain additional boost for an increased power output of the engine;
a wiring harness for conducting signals from at least the turbo inlet pressure sensor and the manifold absolute pressure sensor of the vehicle to the control module wherein the wiring harness comprises: a turbo inlet pressure sensor connector configured to be coupled directly with the turbo inlet pressure sensor of the vehicle; a turbo inlet pressure sensor harness connector configured to be coupled with a wiring harness that was originally coupled with the turbo inlet pressure sensor; a manifold absolute pressure sensor connector configured to be coupled with the manifold absolute pressure sensor of the vehicle for the purpose reading air pressure within the engine manifold; a signal connector configured to be plugged into an input socket of the control module; and a
controller socket configured to receive a controller connector comprising a signal adjuster; and the signal adjuster configured to enable manual adjustment of the power output of the engine.
