Vlad, suggest to me some common sense edits and I'll plug then in she i unload the car and get everything set up. I have to burn the map again anyway because i want to lower duty cycle a bit and avoid 193kpa.

​​​​Boost fuel cut is set at 200 so 193 is a) more than I want to run right now and b) about to bump into fuel cut, which is always fun on track.

super simple: highlight 19kpa row 2266-7000 region, add 3*. then
highlight 19-100kpa and 2266-7000 region. Hit the / interpolate button.
then highlight 178-198kpa and 2266-7000 region. Hit / interpolate button.

that would take 5 seconds and already help

you should also easily be able to bump boost cut to 220 withot any issues (assuming the tuner really did tune teh ve table all teh way)

Not as much fun as spark cut. Cuz when the spark comes back there's extra fuel and FIREBALL.

LOL that was me in the trackable Miata group. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings too much.

Still, track reliability is for pussies. Instagram fame is what gets you laid these days.
Also, you get to know the most interesting people waiting for a tow truck.

except 19kpa row 700-1500 should still remain at 16 like the rest of your idle cells

Good day so far. Only a couple of minor issues.

Trailer pulled the front left of the bumper cover loose yesterday. Hardware store, washers, 5min epoxy fixed that. It only broke the surround for that vertical screw in the wheel well.

They put me in A group because, I assume, I radiate competence and confidence. First session managed a 155 as I felt things out.

2nd session went out with thumpett and discovered no boost. Pulled in, the wastegate actuator arm had come in nutted. Fixed that with a.coue of Aidan's spare nuts, because I don't have any with me, and some of Turbofans resbond. Thanks guys.

3rd session Thumpett tried to curse my car again by riding along but all was well. We managed a 1.50.00 before having to do some cool down laps.

Melted my breather filter. Fixed it.

Got some exhaust blowby between the head and the exhaust manifold. How could I tell? The oil residue from my leaking stem seals (we presume). Tightened the manifold bolts, as I had not ever re visited them since heat cycling the manifold. Got quite a bit of tightening, so hopefully that's fixed.

Oil drain needs a 60 or a 90 instead of the 45 to properly clear the steering column. Column is chafing away the heat wrap. Will fix it over the winter.

Enthuza muffler is back on.

Tomorrow should be good. Did a 1.49.0 again with Thumpett on board. His commentary is quite entertaining.

You too Carlos. I'll be talking with you later on to further that discussion we had regarding the breather ports, and pcv and catch can routing.
