HELP!! I screwed up loading maps!!
Well this afternoon i started the task of installing my xede. The install went ok, but then when i got to the software part everything went downhill. Genious me decided to use xmap 3.2 to upload my stage 0 V2 map. Well it uploaded fine and then i start my car up and it hardly idles and dies when i hit the gas. Yes, now i realize that i should have used the xupdate software to load up that map; but now i can't even do that. Is there a way to basically erase everything on the xede and start from scratch again? or if anyone has another other way to help that would be great. Thanks for any help.

Its difficult to guestimate what is going on, but it seems you partially converted a V2 map to V3, use this posted by Shiv to fully convert v2 to v3 maps.
Step 9: Converting V2 Maps into V3 Maps!
In order to use V2 maps with V3, they have to be converted. Basically, you'll need to define MAFin as the load variable for all the tables (Timing, Boost, MAF and Knock). This takes about 5 seconds per table so don’t reach for that beer yet.
Step 10: Getting Jiggy with XMap v3!
Download and install XMap v3.0.2.9. It is downloadable at http://www.xede.com.au/software.php). Run XMap v3. Go to “File” menu and open the desired Xmap v.2. You will have to select "View All XEDE Map Data Files" in order to see them since, by default, XMap v3 will only see v3 maps. If you have two v2 maps that you need to upload into your XEDE, you will need to do one at a time. (Note: You will also need to upload and burn Map Bank 0 before you upload and burn Map Bank 1. If you try to do it the other way around, it won’t work). Once you open up the desired v2 file, all the tables will all pop up. A bunch of warning windows will also pop up in succession. For now, just hit “Enter” to close them as they pop up.
Step 11: Reconfiguring One Map at a Time
One and a time, right click on each table and select "Edit this Map". Towards the bottom of the page, you will see "Load Variable" and it will be set to "AN0in" (Analog 0 input). Change this to "Freq0in" (Frequency 0 in). This is because the EVO is unique in the way the MAF sensor is frequency based and not a more standard 0-5 volt sensor. Do this load variable change for all the tables (MAF, Crank, Knock, Boost/unknown).
Step 12: Back to the MAF Table
Go back to the MAF table and go to "Edit this Map" again. Your job is not done. Set the "Input Variable" to "Freq0in" and the "Output Variable" to "Freq0out". This is because the MAF table uses MAFin (Freq0in) as a Load variable (see Step 5) to modify itself. Pretty neat, eh?
Step 13: Change that MAF Scaling!
Almost there. Now, go to "Features" and click on "Miscallaneous". Click on the "Use log-based scaling for freq. based MAF". This will take advantage of some of major advances we made with MAF signal replication. This will manifest themselves will a smoother idle and improved low load drivability. This will be very noticeable with cars equipped with aggressive camshafts and/or radical cam timing.
Step 14: Save that Map!
Now save the map under a new name. This will automatically convert it to a v3 map!

ok, so now i have the right map loaded up and it's running ok. But, here's the problem, i'm only hitting .9 bar of boost when stock was about 1.4 bar. Any ideas on what is causing this? was i supposed to do something with the wire i took out of the factory wireing harness?
You need to replace the green wire (ecu connector pin 11) and remove the pill from the hose going to the wastegate solenoid following the instructions: http://vishnutuning.com/evo_install_xede.htm
Glad to see you got it taken care of...
