Last night, I started running the alcy kit running. I loaded up the stage 1 (93 oct) map and the car is running knock free = no knock retard from the xede data logs. This was a big accomplishment!

The boost gauge is still showing boost to 0.14Mpa but SMC solved my knock problem.

What do I need to tune with the xede? Delta dash and a WBO2? Or can I call you for another map? Please advise!

Sorry i'm coming in late. In still on the other side of the world so go easy on me

Quick question about your car (most of which you've probably answered in this thread i'm sure)...

What model year?
What mods (all mods)?

That'll get me up to speed quickly...

thanks,
shiv

XEDE w/ Stage 1 93 octane map (when running w/ alcohol), TPS clamped at 3.6V, MAF & MAP set to 1.000
TXS Uppipe
TXS Turbo back exhaust w/ high flow cat
Stock injectors, Walbro Fuel Pump, Stock Turbo, Stock Intercooler.
Vishnu intercooler hoses

Thanks for your interest and please advise.

I am running with the alcohol injection turned on. I can turn it off (unplug it) if it makes solving the problem easier. I notice the overboosting with and without it but the SMC kit helps run without knock retard on the datalogs.

I have not been posting here as it seems the overboosting situation has been relatively the same.

A week or so a go, I tried a new boost control solenoid but it did not change the overboosting situation.

My boost is now climbing towards 0.15mpa.

Yesterday:
When I was driving, the car built boost, (boost climbed towards 0.14mpa and then fell off {this was a sudden loss of boost} during WOT) and didn't want to climb back up. I made it to my destination, and turned the car off. I started the car again and boost came back up without sudden losses.

Please help!

Any ideas? Any answers to my questions? When does Shiv get back?

For starters:
1) How can I control the boost with the XEDE. Why can I build boost if I set the values in the MAP table to 0.0?
2) What does it take to tune the XEDE? Do I need the Delta dash software, WB O2 sensor etc.

I get back from travelling tomorrow and will be able to work on the car some more.

Obviously, this is not service that you would expect from local Mcdonalds but how long should I be waiting for responses?

Can you post up a picture of your boost table? Screen shot, that is...

FYI - I haven't responded because of the work schedule and some other challenges. Now, when the car is cold, I get the UP whistle (UP leak). Basically, I’ll need to fix it and will resume this thread thereafter.
