Boost Leak Symptoms?

Hey guys, Just got my turbo setup on and was driving around a bit. With the \"1st setup\" I was only getting 2psi boost on gauge (and ectune). I went home and changed the WG spring (was a little bit stiffer) and was still getting 2psi. I have one that is MUCH stiffer than the other two but am afraid...

Ok maybe my wording is off. I'm not trying to ask about tuning ign at higher altitudes, I'm asking about how eCtune's code is written. IF my baro sensor reads 830 mbar for example. Is eCtune going to take everything higher than 830 mbar to be boost, or is it still going to take everything higher tha...

No, I am asking about when eCtune will start to retard ign. Is it going to retard at -5 psi when it thinks its at correct \"0 atmosphere\" or is it not going to start to correct until it gets to 0 psi atmosphere, therefore already having the system at 5 psi boost.

High Altitude Boost Retard

Hey guys I got a question about high altitude stuff again. eCtune has the feature of retard ign by 1.25*/lb of boost. Since I am higher up, the MAP sensor will read -5 psi when the car is off. So, eCtune wont start retarding boost until the system has built up 5 psi then it will think it is going in...

Ok, so when i go into boost having set my wastegate at 7 psi, the boost gauge will read 3-4psi and ectune will read 7psi? So will i be boosting an additional 5psi to bring it out of vacuum (according to eCtune) and then 7psi to the peak for a total of 12psi? Im still a little lost. Why wouldn't the ...

Colorado Altitude Pressure Compensation?

Hey guys, I live in Colorado and have a few questions. Atmospheric pressure here is about 830-850 mBar compared to sea level of 1000... (duh) What I'm having trouble with is at key-on engine-off the MAP sensor reads -5 inHg whereas my boost gauge will read 0. So eCtune is reading different from my g...

More advanced features of tuning

Hey guys I just wanted to say that eCtune is amazing when compared to freeware. I also really like the help options/features offered in the program. However, I am sad to see that not all of the topics have information in them. I would really like to know how some of these features work and how to tu...
