Rudy and I will keep an eye on this thread as it continues and employ your suggestions if, and when, we get together to sort it out (if he still need my help after all this). Thanks for the specific A/F ratios, Ryan.

I highly recommend removing it, but only if you are having issues like Ryan here.

Jon's car (Philodox) has no issues. We just installed the newest MAP in his car with the dongle still in place and it runs great.

Yup I had the same problem on my car. The wastegate is just too small. Needs some BP to keep it under contro(high flow works great)l. I will be turning up the boost this weekend so I will share what I learn after that.

I also noticed my peak boost dropped after I received my emanage back from Greddy with the updated map. It used to be 7psi (48kPa) but now I'm only getting 6psi(42kPa).

The E-Manage MAP shouldn't affect the boost numbers at all unless the engine is simply putting out WAY less power and, therefore, exhaust. This would be bad and unlikely.

The E-Manage has no provision for boost control.

Yup, she's fit as a fiddle. Thanks again Jeff for loading the new map for me. By the way.. I got 21mpg on the ride home from your place.. You didn't tell me your map would give me 5mpg more on the highway
