Chris,
I've got a 5 bar kavlico and a 4 inch intake you're more than welcome to test with if you wanna come down for a date with the LS1 boys here in bham
btw, I got my 5 bar from roadraceengineering along with their adapter to take the place of the MAP sensor on the intake manifold.

interesting, I'm not too hung up on my scaling staying the same, I can adjust my timing/fuel maps as needed if it's off.
where are people getting the 5 bar kalvico sensor and cost?
can you elaborate on the iat sensor details?
I'm not interested in stock ecu controlled boost right now, maybe later.
my email is chris@mellontuning.com if you want to shoot that ROM over. another obstacle will be getting away from my beloved 96940011 ROM, I bet it's not supported.

The IAT tempt sensor is litterally your off the self GM open element sensor which can be bought pretty much anywhere. I got the sensor and bung from diyautotune.com if i can remember right. Wired it into the pin on the ecu which required me to basically run a wire to the sensor from the ecu and used the intake as the ground. My sensor is welded right into buschur's upper intercooler pipe.
Np on the ecu controlled boost I don't have it implemented anyways. I'd say i'm really close to cracking the low load issues i'm having where the tune kinda flops into lean and rich, mind you at loads under 30kPa which is like downhill light gas. If you want to wait a couple days i think i can iron it out to near perfection. Or I could just send you the tune as it is right now.
The rom is tephra 5.10 the 97140015 romid so yeah you would be losing your rom .

no rush on the ROM since I don't have the parts yet, I'm still hell bent on going 9's on the stock mas so I'm not quite ready for SD but I'm interested. I sure would like to get the full potential out of this turbo before I move on to a bigger one and sheet metal intake

I'll make sure to save a rom where the ecu boost isn't implement or at least tuned up to the point of being disabled.

cool, the maf-t solution is tempting because I know I can get it up and running right away for some quick results. However, I do think SD would be the best solution in the long run, it'll just take a little more homework to get it going properly.

Understood I'll work on the around town drivability of this rom and shoot you an email where you can contact me. I don't think i'll need more than a couple days to figure out the ins and outs of these trailing edges.

In preparation, get a log of cruising around town as long as possible with boosting, etc...try to hit as many cells as possible. Make sure you are logging boost pressure (really absolute pressure, so let us know the baro if the log is gauge pressure) and baro+temp compensated load.
I can tell you your preliminary VE settings based off of that log.

Mellon.....What did you do to the MAF tune wise when you removed the screen??? I would imagine that it caused all kinds of drivability issues? How did you go around these problems.
I ask because for those of us getting closer to 30psi boost...I would hate to hose up my turbo because of the screen getting sucked in.
Sorry this was off topic....well, it's kind of related.
Thanks.
