I am. Idle delay is at 500 and duty is at 3.9. I'm not sure what my target increase is at

Add more duty. And maybe a longer delay if needed.

Also if you are using megasquirt 3 then idle timing correction will make a huge difference. You set it up so when idle drops timing advances and you rev back up.

Idle up delay is win when it comes to fans and a/c.

Went to get the car tuned today. Apparently at some point the bolts holding the wastegate to the turbo had rattled out. I wasn't able to make more than 14psi. After replacing the bolts we turned it up to 20psi. I made 341whp/277tq on conservative timing. The car is stupid fast! I beat an STI on my way home. We were rolling about 30, he hit his 2step, built boost and left. I reeled him in immediately and then put 7-8 car lengths on him instantly. BLEW HIS DOORS OFF!!!

Mine is 8.6%. I have a single of the big-*** spal fans that FM used to sell (before the current kit). It's... big. Takes a lot of juice.

Yeah it was.

Check out the turbosmart dual port wastegate. I've got one and its a really nice piece. Swappable springs and everything.

I was looking at that. That may be the route I go. For now I'm happy with the power I'm making, but we all know that will change in about a month or 2.

Hit me up if you're planning to go to any autox in the area soon. Hoping to have my car back up and running this week and it'd be fun to have some miata friends to do autox with.

Sounds like both of you have some awesome builds.

Looking forward to your dyno as well. Awesome build!

I didn't have him mess with it too much. I have it so it is only dieing about 1 out of 4 times. I'm going to mess with it some more after work today. It is getting better though!
