Yea same with me, i travel for a living so i dont get much time to tinker with the settings. But i do get alot of time to read up on things.

One day it will all click.. Just take it slow.

I just need to get it driving and get some break in miles on the new motor/converter/turbo, this should work for that.


Did you adjust the tune for the 2 bar map sensor? Assuming you left the sensor installed...

I still havent loaded a tune yet (hoping for a miracle and my tune comes back from HPT)

The thing is with the tune I have, I'm going to have to license it to load it in the truck (2 credits) and then convert it to a 2 bar OLSD OS (2 credits)... when Ive already licensed a tune and converted it to 2 bar OLSD for the truck once ( 4 credits total again) so.... in ONE truck, I'd have 8 credits tied up total.... .the software only came with 8 so anything else, I'll have to purchase more credits to do ($50 ea)

-that being said, I'm going to just license the tune that Dusty put together for me and leave it one bar and just set it to default and go rich if it gets into boost (which I can already tell is going to happen very quickly) and just generally be careful with it.... until my tune comes back from HPT, then I can load it, have my 2 bar OLSD stuff back, and be on my merry way...

get all that?? cause I didnt

that's all absolute rubbish....all those loops to jump thru just to load 80e parameters, especially after paying $4-600 for software.

I plan on jumping ship shortly... I'll probably sell HPT and give EFI a shot anyway for comparisons sake....
