Couple fun facts.

3rd gear, 4k rpm. Time from full throttle to 15psi.....

.562 seconds



6th gear pull from 2500rpm. 160kpa at 3100rpm. Would spool higher but boost control flattened out there.

Very nice, sorry I don't have more input on your misfires.
I think the turbosmart actuator is the only one that actually works. 34% is pretty good for 175kpa or so. Did you say your wastegate pressure was 3psi,?

Yes. Depending on temperature I've seen 34% hold 15psi.

Right now I'm just in setup mode. Haven't spent any time tuning closed loop.

Yeah, I get it, I have barely touched closed loop with the new can.

Course. It's pretty easy once you understand it all.

I've decided to ignore the misfire for now and wait for it to get worse.

Seems like a logical course of action, I approve of this message.

Then why didn't you do this with the oil leak? Your inconsistency is illogical.

I'm hoping he ignores his VVT issue as well.

Wonder if that's how he deals with flat tires? "Maybe if I ignore it, it'll go away".

Because oil leak was traceable. And not random. And if it had been a leaking pan I likely would have ignored it. Front main seal was an evening of work.

Not happening. This one actually causes some nasty tune issues. Weird AFRs, bucking. Annoying. VVT is turned off for now.

Man. I need to start reading other people's build threads. There is such a wealth of knowledge on this page alone. I will apply aforementioned discussed principals to my own build.

What, ignoring problems until they get worse or go away?
