so 18 is the max u could safley run with this turbo? why did you want it to tapper at 5500? is there an issue with the turbo running out of puff and intake temps rising?

the more times they play with it the better

I would say yes and my tuner agrees with that figure. It's approaching its limit.

Hence the reason to taper the boost as I understand it.

Will definitely going back to Craig to get this car as near perfect as possible whist at the same time become skilled enough to continue tweaking it hopefully.

Nice results Bruce! I bet your happy

Hopefully I can get something similar with my new turbo.

Will be harder because auto loses 15-20kw on a dyno due to the torque converter...of course you don't actually lose this on the road, only on the dyno

Thanks Adam.

Very happy with the results.

Good luck with your own upgrade. Be keen to see how the Blouch performs as well.

Now to go outside and give the car a hug.

Glad you're happy Bruce. Good results and thoughtful work. Just make sure your wife doesn't get jealous .

Took it for a drive tonight and couldn't smell anything. Maybe I'm getting paranoid, but will have the guys check it out on Monday. Also not sure if I need to get a few more kms on the car to see IAM at 1.0.

What kinda smell??

[Kekotic]

Care to elaborate?

[bass_straitener]

Well, after yesterday's drive and on he way home it popped a bit and even appeared to backfire a couple if times. Gino can confirm this. When we got the car home, I checked under the bonnet and thought it smelt too much of fuel. The exhaust smelt of unburnt fuel in my opinion as well. Again this could just be me being paranoid but I rang and spoke to Justin from Revzone who suggested I bring it in on Monday and he'll take a look.

I also took a Learning View screenshot and IAM was at 0.5 and I would have thought it would closer to 1.0 given I've done 250kms plus and I thought the car has been a bit thirsty since I got it back. I did notice no correction however so not sure what to make of it. But did notice AFR scaling correction was double what it was when compared to my Learning View image prior to this tune.

Any opinions or comments gladly considered. As I said, it could be just me but I happy to err on the side of caution in this instance.

Will keep you posted.

It wasn't doing it prior to Kieran driving it

Apart from the backfiring on decel the car drives pretty darn well. Strong linear power with fantastic mid range punch.

The SS copped it on the way home, as much as I love forced induction, I love cubes that little bit more

Here is a copy of my Learning View screenshot for those interested. Putting it out there for anyone interested in seeing some output or mildly interested in logging and tuning.
