i think we just need to relearn the driving style either FLOOR IT or give like 20 percent throttle to be safe thats what i am doing for now.

I am getting confused with all the post can someone clear this up for me thank you.
He's refering to the WRX PTFB problem. The problem is that the WRX ecu remains in closed loop control up until about 60% throttle position. In closed loop control the computer uses a map based on RPM(there may be others, feel free to correct me) for fuel deliverly but adjusts this map based on the O2 readings. It can only adjust to a certain point and then its maxed out. When it reaches this max it goes lean. Its flowing too much air for the particualr RPM.

In open loop control the ecu uses a map purely based on MAF readings. It does not look at or use at the O2 readings for any adjustment.

My point was that we(EVOs) do not get PTFB in closed loop control. We hit open loop at about 25-30% tp. Does that make any sense?

BTW... the whole thing regarding boost creep has to do with waste gate flow! It has nothing to do with JUST installing a MBC. The root of that problem is installing a freer flowing exhaust and the wastegate can't flow all that it should be able to flow and the excess goes throught the turbine wheel. It causes excess boost... aka boost creep.

doesnt matter what throttle you at you should be safe. But with a SAFC leaning out the fuel then I am not sure again.
If you reach 20psi at 20% throttle then you will have a problem... but that should not happen.

If you have the AFC set up correctly, it should not be adjusting while the ecu is in closed loop control!!

I think u should be fine......I know alot of people that are running fine with the AFC.

Its just when you raise the boost and gas and start modding your car beyond what your wastegate can regulate that you start to overboost.

if your doing 50mph hour in 5 gear you can maintain your speed under 25% throttle.....now start accelerrating at the like 40% throttle.....yourt turbo is gonna spool wo being over 50% throttle and if you having your boost set to high it can jump to full boost way easier than if you were going 5 mph and then mashed in the gas to 80% in 1st gear;

yes you can over boost in higher gears with only part throttle causing a lean condition in your engine.

this has nothing to do with open loop or closed loop; it has to do with the amount of exhaust gas running through your turbo.....the ability of your wastegate regulating boost pressure and the lean condition is directly realted to how you have your AFR tuned in these conditions.

this is generally called boost creep; it is not as prevelant in the evos but yes it is possible in any turbo application.

search and read it has nothing to do with wrx or evo it is inherent to turbo motors; differnet designs have different amount of creep but it is still possible.

You guys should really stop being combative when liquid post tech help in this forum. His points are always dead on helpful detailed and correct.

He started talking about boost creep and AFCs. Jinu0808 even specifically said that he did not have an AFC. All the guy asked about was the WRX PTFB problem. No one brought up boost creep until liquid did, which is totally unrelated.

But... I didn't think that my posts were combative. I was just trying to educate and help out. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Ok ok Yes there are several answers here and I dont think anyone was being combative.....

But just to summarize the topic.....

EVO's do not have the PTFB that are assosciated to the WRX's in respect to the closed loop operation of the ECU. This would be inherent to the design of their ECU
EVO's and other cars that are turbo charged can reach full boost at part throttle.....Due to boost creep. Boost creep is related to the turbo spinning faster than the wastegate can expunge excess exhaust gas to regulate boost poressure. This generally happpens when
The root of that problem is installing a freer flowing exhaust and the wastegate can't flow all that it should be able to flow and the excess goes throught the turbine wheel. It causes excess boost... aka boost creep.
. When this happens you can casue a lean condition....

To my understanding the topic was relavent however it may have not been specifically related to the wrx issue, which I may have misunderstood his question. I was giving him information that he would need to know if he started modding his car and got a fuel cut.......Which is caused by overboosting, which can be caused by boostcreeep. However, I have heard that the EVOS have not seen a major issue with this, even though it is possible.

I agree with you, apparently the Evo goes into open loop at olny like 30% which is kind of crazy inthis day and age of ODB-II but who's complaining. I guess if you think about it, Subaru did not plan too well if their open loop is not until 60%, that pretty high.

I believe he got his answer. The issue is not a problem since the Evo ecu goes to an open loop map at only 30% throttle which is not enough boost to cause the problem.
