I cut the wires in the diagram i checked like a million times before I actually cut them. After a test drive it ran great , except right after you come to a stop it will be a little shaky idling at about 1an a 1/2 but then it goes normal not bad shaky just a little. Also the commander said i was getting .74 boost I think. So did I do it right. I have only installed my intake so far along with the BOV. So does it sound like I did it right. Everyone else who says they cut the wrong wires says the car doesnt transition smoothly, mine did, and they said it idled at like 3000, and mine didnt do that either. It ran really great and pulled hard, so am I in the clear did I i do it right

Oh and I forgot to say some people say that the check engine light comes on mine didnt, I think that good isnt it?

I accidently cut the wrong wires when I installed my pfc. Check the diagram in the instruction manual very carefully. There are a few slight distinctions that you should pay close attention to when finding which wires to snip. My check engine light did not light up, however I was told that you should let the car idle for about 30 mins to let the ecu adjust to your settings. Afterwards, the idle should be stable and the car should be a lot smoother.

I didnt let the car idle for 30 minutes yet, I'll do that today, but do you guys think that with what I have told you I cut the right wires? I am almost positive according to the diagram that I did, I was just wondering if what my car is doin is correct?

Thanks,

My question is how the hell did you get down there to see what wires you cut? The **** is so low in the car and the wires all wrapped up nice and tight like, what a PIA. I was going to take the platic of the harness and push the wire pins out with a paper clip or something but man its a PIA.

Here are my observations on the PFC "self-learning"

The PFC is "self-learning" to what degree, nobody seems to know, but over time after installing the PFC (1 week of every other day driving 3 - 4 hours total) seems to smooth everything out.

The first time I changed the boost setting from low to high, it took about 4 - 6 WOT runs for the PFC to smooth out the boost curve.
ie the first few runs the boost gauge would waiver over a 2psi boost range as the PFC seemed to be seeking for the proper wastegate % duty cycle across the RPM range to keep a flat boost level. After the first few (4-6) runs at WOT with the higher boost setting there was no more waivering across the RPM range as the PFC had apparently figured out the correct % duty cycles needed to keep the boost pressure level.

Anyone else want to comment on the PFC's self-learning capabilities or your observations of it improving performance over time?!?
