Yeah of course but his data logs requires a 2nd and 3rd WOT pull. That is when i noticed the problem.

Does the greddy turbo get out flowed that bad? What is a good peak boost, and sustained boost. I have the actuator all the way in with the set screw taken off

bnr not bhr

yeah I would say that you're experiencing a normal greddy turbo quirk...boost won't stay consistent to redline...boost will start dropping off up high. I think you are fine.

You are not reading the instructions, are you?

Yeah BNR my bad.

It just sucks, it pulls so hard than just kind of falls off with the boost. Kind of opposite what you would expect from a rotary.

3) Again, on a safe section of open, flat highway, lower your RPMs to 3000 in 2nd gear (1st gear on the 4-speed automatic).

14) Press the "OK" button again to start the data-log and accelerate at WOT to redline.

15) Release the gas pedal and allow the vehicle to slow and your RPMs to drop and switch to 3rd gear (2nd gear on the 4-speed automatic).

16) When your RPMs have dropped to 3500, once again accelerate at WOT to redline or to the highest safe speed you can attain.

This is what i read from the directions, the afrs pegged at 11.2 so i was not worried about leaning out

Are you on v4.0 or v4.0.1?
That is a rhetorical question, because I know you are on 4.0.
Now, re-read the instructions.
4.0 does not have any WOT logs.

oh i messed up then i thought i was on 4.0.1

Well i sent you all three logs if that helps.

I have a question about the ap is it supposed to read afrs below 11.2, mine never drops below 11.2 for some reason. or 11.17 according to the logs

What is the file name of your current calibration?

Its something like "MM 2004 MT FI BASE USDM v4_0", right?

Did you ever do just the first part of the instructions? Had you sent in the logs from the first part and received and updated calibration ("MM 2004 MT FI USDM v4_0_1")?
What made you think it was time to move on to the second part of the instructions?

LOL.... I now know the TURBO version of "what not to do to your car"

1. READ instructions 3 times to confirm next step.

2. Confirm with MM before doing so.
