hopefully tomorrow and the weekend ill be able to get some street tuning done and see what I can do about holding more boost. preloading the wastegate more, better boost control and ofcourse smooth out my AFR
alright! so finally figured out my boost control issues and have 2 new logs, also tightened the waste gate actuator more to see if I can hold more boost. the majority of the power band seems to hold well but still falling off to 17-18 psi over tired adding a ton go WGDC in the upper revs but redline doesn't seem to change, I attached logs, AFR seems decent, going try to work on it a little more. maybe even dyno the car again with this setup, also need to get a good video of the back pressure again with the new boost control settings, possibly be more now that I have much better boost curve
My personal preference:
AFR at 12.5 worries me when under 4000 rpm. Turbo spikes here and personally, I'd rather see 11.5 for that extra cushion. I can understand this for bigger turbos to aid in spool, but not on this tiny snail. (And bigger turbos wouldn't spike as easily)

The one pull i started really low was a little lean at Peak torque but didnt have any knock. the next pull that i started later around 3000 rpm was pretty much right where i wanted AFR to be but got 1-2 counts of knock, although i only get knock every 4-5 pulls, its not consistant enough that i feel i need to worry or change timing, but that my opinion. maybe the next few days ill see how the car likes more boost or more timing in general, then once i find the knock threshold, get an hour on a real dyno jet and see what she does
