    We have upated these maps following reports of under-boost. Check out the map download page to download an updated version of these maps. We have Standard as well as Low and High wastegate maps.

    Just tried both regular and hwg map for underboosting and the updated regular map for 93 octane made 16.5 psi for boost then i tried the underboost map and only hit 17.5psi in second gear but 18psi in third. Then tried one last pull in second and got 18psi so it is better then before but waiting to see if driving it more will help the map settle in. Hopefully that will do the trick but if not still very disappointing.

    Are you in S# mode? At what RPM are you rolling into the throttle? Are you starting at around 3,000 rpm? Try doing a multiple gear pull or rolling into WOT at a lower gear.

    tried rolling into boost in second and third around 3,000 rpm and most boost ive hit so far was 18.3psi in third gear on my way home when the temp has dropped into the 70's. And yes im in sport sharpe mode. Its doing better then the origanal map but still off by over a pound of boost and it seems like the power being made is the same if not less the the origanal stage 2 map without the intake.

    Peak boost should be reached in 4th, 2nd and 3rd are too low a gear...

    thanks for the new map v1.06 everything seems to be working great and its right in range with the peak boost and is not slightly over the 20psi mark the original stage 2 was.
