Beware of cold morning air.
Turbo's get waaay too happy.
Even with a ported waste gate, my low boost setting (bypassing the MBC) went to 7 PSI.
Cars goes zoom, pingety ping at about 4K.
Sureshot goes "oops".
No further damage, but it was close.
I really need to switch the TPS signal to the S-AFC over to the pressure signal.

Detonation can sound like a single sharp tick at 3500 or a rattle at 6K.
Like tapping on the housing with a hammer.
Power drops off some when it happens, so it can get mistaken for fuel cut.
I'm just tuned a little too agressive for 30 degrees. At 40 it runs great.
The boost gets ahead of the throttle at 30% in cold air.

Dude... switch that f'r over to boost sensor instead of TPS..... AND.... Run the wire from the boost sensor to your SAFC BEFORE the FCD..... IE.... make a "pass through" connector by taking the female terminal off the blue wire on your CDE FCD and soldering the signal wire onto it, then putting another female terminal on the ends you just soldered together then hook that back up to the boost sensor and run the signal wire through the firewall to the SAFC TPS input.

This has nothing at all to do with cold air. In fact cold air reduces the chance of detonation. You're running less boost than the engine runs stock, so if you're getting detonation, something is very wrong. My guesses would be bad fuel (unlikely) or poor tuning...

Detonation
I SAY ALL ROTOR OR NO MOTOR! No sense in having all that power if you don't have the reliability with it. If you do your homework, You can have a rotary running good times naturally aspirated. I'm running low 14's all day with an S4 convertible with very little mods considering it's one of the heavier Sevens. I was gonna bolt on a turbo, but I keep seeing all these TIIs dropping like flies around me.

Sorry! N/A Guy
Sorry guys wrong place. It's just that almost every guy that I know with a turboed rotary is still working to get his car started again just to do high 12's or 13's. I took advantage of the topic and tried to vent. Sorry again

First- read the plugs to make sure you're not going lean.
Then back off the spark timing to match your current fuel & conditions.
Fuel suppliers change formulations with the seasons, so you sometimes have to tweak the tune.

hey guys, I'm just about to become a TII owner when my swap is done. I know this may be out of place but can someone explain the dynamics of boost creep? I am porting my wastegate before installing my motor but I would love to know the fundamentals of boost creep.

Basically the wg port(s) (depending on s4 or s5 turbo) are too small and cannot flow enough to bleed off the boost increase associated with installing a turboback exhaust and/or other mods. The boost will just keep going higher and higher and you know what happens then.
