okay... if you are not tuning on WOT you are not doing anything... the ecu will compensate, and put you back to 14.7ish... ive tried adding some fuel just to see what it will do... i only did this in the lower TP... not in the upper(above 3k or so) b/c its hard to cruise around and be inconspicious(sp?) at that rpm with my exhaust.
Maybe what you should try doing is ditching the FMU and getting a FPR and then tuning your injectors... that is what RPW suggests for its boosted aps...

""The TSI kit is not a bad kit!!"" I personally have installed the basic tsi on my 03 lancer and it worked out great. When you turbo these cars there is two routes you can go. A mild HP gain and mild boost approach or a "i want tons of hp out of my car approach! By doing the mild approach you can get away with using the FMU, stock injectors, and fuel pump upgrade for up to 7psi ! But, if you want to up the boost and get even a better tune then go the injector and piggyback way. Thats the best way anyways. Why do all the guys with the basic RRM kits have a FMU on their cars? They also have a piggyback but to help the tune! Look at the cost difference too. There is a difference of $2000.00. For a guy like you who sells these kits and wants to move cars to make money, these kits wont be good for you! The kit does require some mods and time. Time equals money in your field.[/QUOTE]
I am not in this for the money, in fact I setup race cars and do installs and custom work on the side as I have another full time job, so I am not simply trying to make money by moving cars. The reason I say the TSI kit is one of the worst and poorly engineered kits is the amount of custom fabrication that was required just to make everything fit. Also, the fuel management and solutions were just simply ridiculous. And no, the owner was simply looking for a moderate bump in power initially.
If a kit is advertised as a bolt on kit, don't you think it should "bolt on"?
