looks to me like you don't have a restrictor pill in your map sensor line which is making it jump around a bit and the MS is changing the PW and dutycycle to try to compensate for that.

I'm not really sure what's up with your CLT

if you put a restrictor in the line, then its definitely not small enough. It should be a little chunk of plastic or metal (think like an airsoft pellet or something) that has a 1/16" hole drilled in it, positioned about an inch or so upstream of the MS's MAP sensor.

Your temperatures just look like ground noise, altho based on the high and low values they arent really anything to worry about, the scale of that noise is fairly small. The worrying stuff is the noise in the RPM and MAP signals.

Typically I see problems like that when there aren't enough ground wires out of the MS to the engine, or if the engine ground to the chassis is not sufficient.

On Tofuball's old 'vert when we first got it running (when I was a newbie) I grounded the MS straight to the chassis, and found that every time he hit the brakes, the CLT, IAT, and TPS would change. After that we grounded to the engine, and never had that problem again.

I ground the MS to one of the holes in the engine itself underneath the intake manifold.

For grounding to the chassis, the stock locations are fine, just make sure you clean them up if they're corroded.

Ok Here is the next logs from today still dont look right. But I upped the boost 7psi. Feels ok except for a stumble about 3500 rpm think its when my secondaries come on. But feels pretty good otherwise still needs lots of refining anyone want to check out my msq? Maybe give me some good advice. PS its a half bridge

Im using the rs-autosport harness it has labeled grounds on like 12 13 14 or some thing for the clt sensor iat and tps is that right or should I cut the wires there and jumper to pin 19 or what. I just keep seeing dirty clt and iat signals.
