So you guys have the same drivers that we do, huh?

Do you do your own tuning?

I was wondering how fuel is added in with boost. It seems as though with a SC - any SC - when you're in boost, and when you're out is pretty consistant or predictable. With a turbo, it seems as though you can be under boost at light throttle, a long ways away from jumping into PE.

Do you up the PE 'sensitivity' to come in at a lower throttle opening and basically assume you'll be under boost?

Maybe with the IFR table you scale the lower end of the table (0 vac) to dump in more fuel?

i have never messed with the ifr table, always keep the numbers the same all the way across.

with a turbo you definately want you PE to turn on sooner. i have mine set at 40%. tuning is a breeze right up untill you run out of maf. even then it isn't too bad. the maf does all the work for you.

one other point about how the power come in with a turbo, you want your line presures in your tranny to ramp up much sooner. i am not 100% sure on what is best here but i am thinking you should be at your max line presure by 50% throttle, basicaly ramp up the presures between 0-50% and keep them at 100% from 50-100%.
