Heres a few pulls, there was a problem going passed 3000rpm, but adding more fuel with the SAFCII seemed to fix that.

Boost:

This is from a streetported 13bt with the STOCK TURBO with a ported wastegate. It NEVER hit 16 PSI before, max I seen was probably 8-10psi. I think the wastegate isn't opening.

What do you guys think? Does steve have his work cut out for him or what!? lol

If I can get in to A-spec this week the boost issue will probably get fixed then. Otherwise I will just drive conservativley this friday and we can sort this out down there.

Is that a joke?

Those are some discusting looking maps but Steve Kan can make them perfect. Don't worry, Steve has fixed much worse

Sadly.. no its not. These are 100% real! When I saw the graph on the screen I thought it was a joke too.

*edit* I guess its good that I'll be one of the last ones tuned on saturday. That way we can figure out wtf is wrong with my ride and not prevent steve from tuning others.

just wanted to add my two cents. just got my car tuned by steve last weekend. my turbo (Greddy TD-06H-20G) could not keep up with everything so my numbers were not impressive, a bit over 300 Hp. but i must say the car is wonderful to drive. it is so smooth. this was my first tune with steve and i must say it was well worth every penny.

I would like to add one more thing to your check list for those that are running PFC. check the crank angle sensor and make sure that it is no more that 2mm from the pulley. if it is, then shim it so that it is closer to the pulley. if its more than 2mm from the pulley the PFC has trouble determining the right timming.

anyways.....good luck to everyone and i hope you guys make some big numbers.

All my stuff is coming down to the wire. Looks like I may be pulling an all nighter on friday. Ran into some problems putting the new turbo on tonight so that set me back. I still have to run piping for the fmic and install injectors/fuel pump, and finish the turbo.

Yep, friday will be crunch time. I've got to finish wiring my fuel pumps. It shouldnt be too hard though. I just need to hook up the relays and then I'm done.

I've done all my tuneup and whatnot... car is ready to go! Got a dragging brake and a leaky coolant filler neck cap, though. Hope to fix these before I leave. How many cars will be tuning on Saturday? How many on Sunday?
