i still prefer to do actual logging via serial to usb though since its more precise. but i need the voltage ranges to set the failsafe up for sure.

Still working on the tune. Tom is pretty busy as always. And eventually I'll need to throw a Walbro 450 in there so I can go over 500 whp.
Really happy with the car thus far, I want to see what it does on 91 though.

So far I'm enjoying my EF 2.5 despite the fact my Hallman is excessively bleeding boost from 26psi down as low as 20psi up top
. Switching out mbc tomorrow to rule out that I have a bad Hallman .
If all goes well after the test, I will throw in my Grimmspeed 3-port and car will be getting tuned tomorrow.
( Yes , I've done a boost-leak test and the WGA was adjusted before installing the turbo in myself. Ever since the last shop switched out my Hallmans inner spring to fight bad boost spike the mbc hasn't been working properly since)

Oh and I'm putting in my double pumper this week and having Tom tune the car... should be interesting
This thread will be revived when we post our numbers up lol , hopefully all works out for me today after work and I'll try to get a VD result up asap
Just got back from tuning . My bad boost taper was from indeed a faulty/bad Hallman mbc , don't ask how or why just is.
With the Grimmspeed 3-port in my car is holding rock solid 26psi and feels good on the VERY conservative timing ( 9* up top ) , my tuner tells me the car has alot left in it but for now I'll drive the car as is and get used to it.
I'll get the VDR of the car as is , but it's nothing impressive so to speak ( VD 360ish or so) . Spool-up is nice and very close to stock

That's on 93, right? Push it up to 30 psi.
Are you going to E85 at any time? This turbo is insane on E85.
Once I get around to getting the car re-tuned again with more timing I'll be set.
We shall see what we can get out on 93 here in about a month(or less).
