Unhappy is this normal?

Okay guys....

I get this really wicked kicking and bucking from around 1,500 to 3,000 rpm. I don't have a comander or the datalogit. The pfc is just out of the box, and I imagine that it only has base maps. So is this somthing that can be tuned out? mods are below.

umm, your J&S will retard timing and so will the powerFC, usually you don't mix the two...

PFC doesnt retard timing. It runs strictly off the maps. Its likely the knock is higher. The PFC needs to be tuned for your car. I would back off the J&S until you get it tuned. You shouldnt need it for 10 psi

straight out of the box...and your using 1300 secondaries. The pfc is set up for 850 stock, although that comes on around 2800 rpms and load. Your **** out of luck to have all that stuff on the car and no way currently to make adjustments. Get the commander and don't drive the car until you can get it set up safely and correctly. Those turbos are flowing more air, cooler and gets chilled even further by the IC, meaning you need more fuel to go with it even at stock boost. Throw in the HKS ign amp and the 1300cc injectors throwing fuel like know tomorrow even though the ecu thinks they are 850...its a wonder the engine's not popped. Not being mean or spiteful, just get a commander atleast and get the car setup nicely and you'll have a sweet ride, but right now your playing with fire and more damage the engine.

When asking ecu tuning questions, only list mods that effect engine performance. More precisely those which affect air intake, fuel, exhaust, and ignition.

We do not care if you are running xyz suspension, Japspeed gauges, or other non related engine mods.
We hate to have to read through all of your toys to find out the pertinent stuff.

thanks for all the help guys. I guess I'll start looking for a commander, I want to get my car down to ground zero motor sports in Portland and have Ralph tune it.

I didn't really want to type out the mods so I just posted my sig sorry to make you guys read through the list and inconvenience you so bad.
