Cheers , pretty close to what I already have . I think it's more to do with the internal WG and my setup than the BC .

/\ That's an interesting idea . I would have thought making the port bigger would have the reverse effect

These two logs are in 2nd (blue) and 3rd (red) on the same settings.
Second gear is more consistent and showing hitting 200ish and holding it . Pretty ideal for street 'situations'

Except when nailing second on a corner - thank goodness for DSC is all I can say !

It will allow you to bleed off faster and more efficiently. Thus, giving you more control and the dip should go away with minor adjustments to your EBC.

After much dicking around trying to get rid of the hesitation I was getting when the SSV opened I concluded that it was due to the Blue injectors in Sec. position as I never had the issue with stock injectors there.
Not wanting to swap out the injectors , I rewired the setup so I could control the rpm it opened and experimented at various rpm.
Every rpm I tried was still an issue so I have eventually settled on 1500rpm because it does idle slightly better with it closed and that is low enough such that it doesn't cause any issues (except at warm up).

Car drives perfectly well and I see no drawbacks at all . *Power is slightly down below 3000 but Turbo spoolup is the same .

Another big advantage is that I no longer have wild AFR swings in the 3500 - 4500 range .

*Edit

I will be trying with yellow/UC yellow/UC yellow and let you know. I have been getting the craziness between 3500-4500 as well. If this gets rid of it that would be great!

Happens a bit on stock injectors but quite bad with Blues in Sec.

Nothing really exciting . Torque is up from 220 to 240 midrange and peak hp is up around 15.

The funny thing is that it's my butt dyno that really can tell what is going on . The car is now just at that point where with just me in it I get that real shove from 5000 on up that is very satisfying . But with someone else in the car it loses that feeling .
