Map 5: Absolute targeting map with a peak boost 17psi. Suitable for 320 & 520 applications.

Not for your car.


i recommend you go back to map 1 and then start conservatively testing the higher maps but only after you datalog and send it to BMS

Running octane booster and an aggressive map without datalogging is asking for trouble.

Are you sure its 95 octane and not 95 RON?

It just says 95 octane here in Pamama, here

"Gasoline in Panama is priced by liter, not gallon. There is also no 87 octane or 89 octane unleaded sold in Panama. The only gas types you will find at gas stations are diesel, unleaded 91 octane, and unleaded 95 octane."

But i've heard is not the best quality gasoline for example a tunner once told me that our 95 is like US 89 that's why he told me that if I wanted to go past 270-280 whp I should run E30

This is because 95 RON is 91 octane and 98 RON is 93 Octane. Another significant factor is the quality of the fuel.

Start with map 1 and work your way up

Yeah idk what to do with the quality of the fuel and now setup is complete full bolt on just thinking about a flash in the ecu and gearbox + tune because jb4 I think is not the best for gains
