I can imagine, that 4eat spools really early. Is it a tin like chatter between 22 and 3k rpm, going away after 3k ?

Aren't you south bay? There are probably tuners who can help you out closer to home.

Yea it does spool quick. Love the acceleration factor.

But.....my problem is around 3k rpm and it surges to 7 back down to 5 up to 7. Doing some mechanical tuning before dropping some bills for a protune. I was going to have eq protune after my vf48 swap but dont got the 400 yet for just a dyno tune.

Last night I tackled a hesitation/stuttering issue I was having. I replaced the following parts:

Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Coil Pack
PCV Valve
Alternator (upgraded to a 90amp '05 STi unit)

Also flushed the tranny and filled it with Redline.

All is well now in RS world

Dynamic adv. /Dynamic adv multi. One gives a live reading vs the other that calculates an average, forgot which does which. I don't remember exactly what they mean, or how it relates to gas quality. If anybody can explain, feel free to chime in.
basically, the ceiling is 1.0 and the floor 0. The closer the reading is to 1.0 the better.
I hope somebody can explain in greater detail

I am not a tuner, but I believe this might be somewhat correct. DAM is always supposed to be at 1.0 if it starts decreasing that means the ECU is decreasing the ignition timing to prevent knock and poor fuel can cause the changes to DAM.

This. And its dynamic multi not the other one. Its the average and it will lower if you are using crap gas.. You can change settings to save your motor if you notice your DAM is lower than 1.. (It should always be at 1).. When raising the value it will decrease timing. Kenley is 100% on the dot.
