i feel like a mad scientist-uber tuning
finally got my obd2-1 issues worked out and spent tonight street tuning. nice afr in 13's dropping to 12.5-12.0 from 3.5k to redline. still running the base timing w/ 0.75 degree of retard. next i'll work on the timing. i think i'll drop the retard to 0.5 (i was running 0.33 using the afc "hack") and maybe bump up the timing a little in vac.
cruising in vac below 3.5k i tuned for high 14's to low 16 afr. egt's look great too in and out of boost. hoping to get even better gas mileage than i was before.

d16y7 w/ y8 intake manifold and throttlebody, td04L w/ std/hr manifold, starion fmic, dsm bov and 450cc inj. i was running the hack and had approx 180whp/170wtq. i'm not necessarily looking to get much more w/ uberdata except piece of mind and partial trottle boosting.

Re:i feel like a mad scientist-uber tuning
Sounds like a good setup. I know for a fact that running Uberdata over the AFC will give you reliability and part throttle boosting. But even if you wanted to tune for more power, at least now you've got that option and full control. It's a beautiful thing

Re:i feel like a mad scientist-uber tuning
Im in the process of putting it all together. I removed my A/C, converted to a P06 and did a 3 wire to 2 wire IAC conversion this weekend. I also bored my seals for my 450's. I'm having trouble getting the bolts out of my turbo to clock it correctly. Hopefully this week I will get the ECU chip ready with my kit from Moates. I have already burned your .bin to a chip with my Moates burner, so its ready to go! Did you use 1.66? I hope so! THanks for your input! What size is the turbo you are using? Mine is 48.42 Saab unit. My Tyrus FMIC should be here this week!
