I put about 50 miles on it last night driving normal (daily), moderately (quick acceleration), and hard (WOT). The car was already fast so my butt dyno has not changed and I need numbers to tell the story.
Side note:
My gauge is a combo that reads boost and A/F, let me know what you think about my readings. - On start up the boost gauge reads –8 to -7 and the A/F starts out optimal, then begins bouncing throughout the lean/ optimal/ rich ranges.
- Under normal driving, boost level ranges from –6 to –4. While A/F readings bounces throughout the three ranges, never holding in any range.
- During moderate driving, boost levels range from –0 to 8 and A/F readings hold slightly in the rich stage, then begins bouncing.
- When at WOT, boost levels range from 13 to 15 and A/F reading becomes a permit fixture in the rich stage.
- Any time I remove my foot from the accelerator boost reads –8 and A/F becomes a permit fixture in the lean stage. Once accelerator is reengaged boost level returns to “normal” and A/F starts bouncing throughout the ranges.
Sounds to me like tuning would be in order. Question is, would the "tune"
being offered by various vendors resolve this fluctuation? Also, did you
happen to notice these fluctuations in the stock config?
