Just want to make sure everything is how it should be I plan on tuning stage 1 soon. BTW I used MHD to log everything not sure how to link it?

You should get an account at Datazap, load the logs into that, then share the links here.

Good to know, nice suggestion

Always wondered how people got the logs out of MHD thanks for the tip !

Anyways here's the logs, got some from last night.

2nd Gear Pull

3rd Gear Pull

Thank you in advance ! This is my first turbo car so help would be greatly appreciated !

You should do some more pulls in 3rd gear. 2nd gear can be tough to get a clean run if you are running into any wheelspin or traction control kicking in. Also, it's hard to read these logs when your car is shifting at 4500 RPM's into the next gear. Go from about 2000 RPM's to redline to get a nice runway of data. Be mindful of speed and applicable traffic laws of course.

Not sure if you car is a manual or auto but I recommend putting it in Sport or Sport+ mode to get a higher shift point.

Thank you for the response! My car is auto and both logs were done in sport+ manual mode so I was shifting my self. Thank you for the tips, I will get another log today doing a 3rd gear pull to redline. Brb

Realistically 3rd and 4th are what you want.

Ok this is redline. please let me know if you see anything. I know timing is a little off on cylinder 1 but have no clue if it's fuel quality or something else. I changed my sparks plugs not too log ago so I know it's not that but still don't know.

I am seeing some timing corrections and a little bit of throttle closures through the pull. My first thought is the fuel quality. I recommend finding some clean 93 octane, or adding 1.5 to 2 gallons of ethanol to your tank. Then doing a few pulls to redline to have a bigger data set to look at.

I'm in California so all I got is 91 smh. Also still on stcok HPFP so idk if i'm able to add E. What parameter are you looking at to see throttle closure?

You can add a little E on the stock HPFP. 2 gallons is fine and should help to clean up the fuel quality. But of course don't do that if you are not comfortable.

Check out one of my stage 2 logs. You will see zero timing corrections, and the throttle position stays at 98 through the pull. I believe I had 93 octane, and about 3 gallons of ethanol with the TU HPFP.

Add a gallon of e85 and fill up with your 89 octane..

A fill up with 89 or 91?

Your 91 octane is basically 88/89 octane everywhere else.. its a jab and Californias crappy emissions control

So would it be more beneficial to get the TU or spool FX200 pump?

I'm going to add some E to my car today after filling up.

Gotcha so fill up will my 91 and add a gallon of E85?

I'm still stock HPFP and stock tune will everything be ok?

Yeah.. you can run about e30ish safely up to a certain boost level etc you'll be more than fine on stage 1 and even on stage 2 with mhd and bootmod3.. not so much 2+ and definitely not 2+ woth bootmod3.

Ok , I'll try that out and get some more logs. I plan on getting a catless DP + HPFP to pair with the tune as well.

It's the way to go for sure!

Ok so I put 7.6 gallons of 91 with a gallon of E85

Here's the log

The car definitely felt better, timing isn't as bad anymore but still getting throttle closure so unsure what to do now?

Maybe because I'm overboosting(Peaked @ 19.6)? That's the only thing I can think of, this log has the highest PSI I ever recorded. Highest before this was 15-16 psi

It was hot outside though and I'd been driving around to get the tank as low as possible (roughly 1 hour give or take) before I started logging.

I'll give her one more pull later tonight when it's colder !

Glad to hear the car felt better. I'm not sure on the throttle closure but the boost spike could be a factor.

What map are you running??

I'm still running the factory map. I'm not tuned at all.
