I don't know if you installed Westers tune yet, but, what I find interesting is the huge increase in low/mid range torque. The top end is similar to the car with the MBC, but, it is sure stronger under 5000 rpm. It is really difficult to go wot at low speed and rpm, the oem tires are way past their capabilities. It is like he performed magic.

It's a LAnd -and-sea 30" inertial. (dyno-mite).

So from what I have the westers tune might not actually pull to 7k. Noone has been able to provide a scan confirming 7k/

Just talked to Darin for 45 min on the phone, he's out wheelin the hell outta them goodyears with the westers's tune. He's gonna send me a log this evening.

It made me so jealous (esp after working on the gxp today to get the boost to level off right @18-19psi without limphome) that I expressed my concerns on the HPT forum about our Year of limbo, and how I feel we have been cheated a little. Charged full price with ZERO support and updates.
I mean if they couldnt figure out more than 30% of the tables within and knew they would not be getting back to it for year(s?) why even put it in beta other than to cashmilk?
It's F-n shady if you ask me...
They'll prolly never get to it now.

Yea bit peeved about the HPTuner part as well, especially since the Euro guys are all the way inside the MED ECUs even with the RSA keys.

The software does make for an excellent way to load the tune and the scanner has the IAT2 which the DashHawk folks have never found.

BTF, once you get the logs from the westers tune, then you will determine if its worth you running that base software and then tune on top of it.

Well I removed the boost controller and installed the two new wastegate springs. It gets 19psi gate alone and about 24 with the factory boost solenoid hooked up.
But more importantly the gate is held on seat with far more authority and it has a dramatic effect on boost threshold and lag.

I floored it maybe 10x last night on a 20 mile drive. It didnt alarm out for overboost, but Im sure I just didnt give it long enough blasts. I was getting 1-2.5 deg of KR intermittently on the DH.

From what Ive seen Wester's tune + my GT3076R setup = Kickass.
About the only thing that will need to be copy and pasted is my MAF tranfer table for the 4" inlet pipe.
The Duty cycle on the stock solenoid currently serves up Race tune boost. He can just leave the duty cycle stock in this application.

From the logs Jack and Darin have shared with me the stock turbo with increased torque request is pushing about 28-29lbs/min VE. The VE lbs/min #(in the HPT scanner) has been dead in line with RWHP on my dyno . Just move the decimal place over one.

If the same torque request is applied with a larger turbo perhaps 34-35 lbs min VE is possible? With the revs set to 7400rpm I bet you'll see 40lbs/min VE.
