Why don't you just fix the MAF? It'll be cheaper and the results will be significantly better.

The MAF thing is fairly simple.

Straighten it out, lose the welds, lose the recirc. (get an AEM and customize it)

Dan will be selling his INT. X very shortly. If you talk to him, he might sell it to you within the week.

Well just got a call from them telling me that the car is running lean and they had some pinging......told them to scrap the recirculation and to try to get the air across the MAF as smooth as possible and to also run through the diifferent series of maps that you have provided jeff...If still no success taking the car as is, staying out of boost until I can acquire a microtech unit

when my maf wasn't setup properly (greddy short intake), the AP dumped too much fuel.

Why is Derex's going lean? Different incorrect maf settings result with different incorrect fueling results?

Beats me, but will be collecting **** loads of data come tomorrow as car will finally be in my posession.

They were finally able to get it a lil richer using the last series of MM's maps but still goes lean in upper rpms

The new calibrations are NOT designed for power.
Nor should they be considered "safe" for high-boost use.

They are just for data-gathering.
The updates after v4_0_1 that are sent out individually are tuned per application.

I'm interested in hearing why the car was on the dyno anyway.

New setup = tip toe around and see if it is running properly. Doing a bunch of WOT runs comes only once you're sure the damn thing is operating properly.

I had them use your older maps and according to them they had it on the dyno only for running test; oil, fuel, & vac leak and were being very vigilante

Hell no worries here, because thank god I ran into that fire while on the dyno vs. me out street driving.

Whats that saying? oh, "If you want something done right then do it your damn self", after fiddling around for 2 hours customizing the intake I got it working properly on my setup, ran the MM v1_3a map just so I could run it WOT......Had to check my pants after hitting 7 psi and........Oh yeah, definately splurged on my self....

Will post up pictures of intake and everything tomorrow after I finish detailing & organizing engine bay.

Really in need of the anti-stall valve for the synchronic as I currently have the bov blocked off

Will be switching back this weekend to Jeff's new base maps and "unfortunately" taking it easy so I can get proper tune. Current map runs super rich in upper rpms and stft are pegged out @ idle.

trying to get some datalogs posted up

Bring on the Pics




The Maf intake is a prototype right now as I will be putting together a more complete aluminum intake w/the screens actually inside the pipe itself. Right now I'm running a screen inside the rubber coupler right in front of the MAF and one at the compressor inlet as well.

Had to block off the BOV so I can idle, temporarily though, found a anti-stall valve thanks psychofox.
