Default The car runs. Help me tune it. Please

So the car runs I took it out for a drive today to try to tune a bit. Im using TS' VE live analyzer. For some reason it just doesn't seem to work out. The car bogs with barely touching the throttle. As far as I know the VE live analyzer should take and add fuel accordingly, right? Well it seems to be doing that however the car still bogs at anything above 100kpa. Please help me enjoy my car for once.

That's one fucked up log. Overboost pulling fuel? When I got my MS the overboost was set to like 2psi, which doesn't really get you anywhere.

************, my boost cut off was 110kpa. I adjusted that. I feel like going and trying to see if it would at least run now. Trying to "tune" like this had ruin the table I use to read 14 flat accross the table n/a.

Brain puts all the boost cuts at 110kpa. You are the second guy I have seen have that mess them up in the beginning. Change it to 255kpa and just turn up the BOOST.

FWIW aside from the overboost protection which you do seem to be hitting, you're rather rich at higher MAP values.

When i first got my MS it was so rich that anything at more than half throttle and the car fell on its face.. it took a few cycles of logging ->mlv -> burn & repeat just to get able to accelerate at anything but a snail's pace.

Well **** my life. I went out changed the values in the boost cut off, took a ride around the block, got pulled over, while my alternator belt snapped AGAIN. I got home and the temps were 240, which aren't that bad, or at least I hope so. Also there's a smudge of oil/grease all over the front of the engine. Wow just wow, at least I didnt get a ticket.

Why did you get pull over for? Speeding? Car too loud? All of the above?

I think that wouldn't work here - they would instantly confiscate my car due to being totally illegal..

Hope you get your things sorted!

wow.... is that what my coolant and mat log should look like? lol

maybe you should turn off over run while tuning? I didn't have that on until I was pretty happy with my VE.
