If anyone could tell me how it works, I'd be on my way to figuring out how to have complete boost control using the stock boost solenoid for pump gas boost and race gas boost.
try increasing your boost load target through the rpm range that your "boost would go too low"; and see if that gets your boost up. my guess would be that with the colder air your car can run less boost to reach its boost load target; if im wrong im sure someone will correct me.

You can also 0 the boost error correction table to keep it more consistent. Then as long as your WG is curved the way you want it, you shouldnt see any more underspikes.

Have you considered using a bleeder rather than a restrictor pill or in conjunction with a restrictor pill?

In my opinion this is the most effective way to cure taper (because it retains electronic control of boost), it also happens to be the least expensive.

What side of the error correction table should be 0'ed out, the left or right side.

The right side which is the amount of correction that the ECU attempts to apply.

Well, I got complete boost control using the stock boost solenoid almost worked out.
Just have to test stability, test race gas boost, make some logs and write a how-to.

Hopefully, Ill have it all worked out by the end of this week.

Just the way AEM works when you use it with a GM boost solenoid. I use to have AEM on my honda and would just control boost with wastegate duty cycle map..

that would be great I spent some time on this but didnt have the time to work out the same issues you were having. (big family)

However thats not really what this thread is about. You can be more accurate by doing some mechanical changes and then curving the maps for what you want.

Sometimes finesse is better than brute force, consider that helpful advise.
i have a evoVIII im running a perrin mbc wondering if it would be the same for my software to do the same .... if not please post me the formula
