Actually, it's exactly what I want Tim.

I just have to get the preload /exactly/ right to be able to run it, and it's perfect once I have it right.

Logs hopefully coming soon for the 4828's spool!

you don't want to run boost control aside from the can?
that's a shame, you're missing out on quite a bit of torque onset (read: feelsgoodman )

I've got a MS3 with EBC and knock det coming from Rev 18psi. **** yes I do.

But I need to sort out this wastegate before I can put on EBC - puttong on EBC when the wastegate is an unknown is retarded.

My issue is not that. What is your end result boost pressure limit?

I'm trying for 9psi-10psi off of the wastegate alone. Target boost is 18psi () off of EBC.

Because I've been busy as **** with finals, installing a MS3, you name it.

Here's two sets of logs, completely untuned as I'm running the basemap with a quick autotune, and running off the wastegate in the worst possible configuration for boost.

Performance is everywhere, because I suck *** as a driver. 162kpa (Remember, at my altitude default kpa is like ~95) by 3030 in fourth was the best I could do - I'm certain most people here could get better results. I would imagine an EBC, when I get it working, will drastically change it for the better based simply on the very obvious boost taper from the wastegate in the logs.

Tell you what - help me get my vTPS working, and I'll virtual dyno it MYSELF.

Posting in the Megasquirt forum on this.

Then that would result in us having to wait for you to provide a virtual dyno and that is unacceptable.

If I can figure out what ******* wires go to what ******* wires, it'll take like ~15 minutes for a virtual dyno.

You have officially confirmed your understanding of the correct wiring here:

https://www.miataturbo.net/megasquir...aaaaalp-71822/

Time stamped at 1:32 PM. Your 15 minutes is running out. According to the clock on my computer you have approximately 7 minutes left to post a virtual dyno.

I feel that a failure to comply should result in the BANHAMMER fae style!

Calm down broski, jeebus. I'm gonna head out and start the wiring in a few minutes after I'm done eating brunch, then virtual dyno, then post.
