Been turbo since 1,200 miles, stock GReddy kit with Profec-S, I then upgraded to MazSport: Int-X, 680/750/290 injector setup and fuel pump. Started boosting 10psi. At 25k miles I added the Ignition solution. Ran this setup for 10k more miles. I now recently upgraded to custom SFR turbo kit.

Unusual thing happened today . My tune went really rich for some reason . I checked my ltft and found it was at +1.6 when it normally runs around -2.4 . After several kilometers of driving it all of a sudden goes back to normal -2.4 .

I have one theory : my IATs were at about 45deg C for a while . Perhaps the computer richens up the mixture if it sees high IAT's until things have stabilised .
Anyone seen this before ?

Hey guys. I finally achieved 400g's, and it happened @8000rpm. I posted the datalog over in the pettit owners thread. I was thinking about using more aggressive timing in the midrange, than what comes from Mazda. Thoughts??

Brettus, it sounds like you have a tune that is pretty spot on. Regardless of the reason why that happened, its not a big deal. You could be right about the reason. Or you found a section of your MAF(a la voltage) that maybe you hadn't seen enough of to realize it needs an adjustment there.

Mine run a bit leaner at 80+ F; but maybe with your IAT sensor post turbine you are getting the benefit of accurate intake temps?

ok I have to get this off my chest first....please resize that pic, it's huge and messing up the screen....

ok, now down to business:

Recently I took off my aftermarket FMIC to switch back over to the GReddy one....it was too big and sat crooked....it was bothering me...lol. Anyways I noticed a small amount of oil in my pipe coming from the hot side to the intercooler....is this an indication of my turbo going out?

i thought the AP was supposed to hold its calibration for good in turboed applications

seems like mine did, the calibration i had after getting tuned at the dyno seemed to change after about a week and i began to run lean in boost, then i reflashed the same calibration again today and things went back to normal and good in boost.

i explained it better in my build thread...

you are right in what you though konig, i suspect theres something more to it than the calibration got skewed or "adjusted it self" in the sense of how the EMU did with many people in early days

Mine does it seemingly at random as well. I just don't know. I keep thinking it's the MAF getting bad airflow or something like that, but I've messed with the intake as much as I can right now.
