Let's see your fully tuned timing maps

Your maps helped me out a lot. I actually dynoed it before I really started to perfect them and the results were pretty good. I got 400hp/tq before with the rough map. With the maps I'm running now, the power band is increased by quite a bit. My car would spike and fall off within a 1000 rpms. Now it pulls strong from 3500 to 7000. It may not make as much peak torque but definitely more power. I also turned the boost down from 29 to 26 in order to run more timing and save the turbo from getting pushed to hard. Creamo3- thank you very much for the help. your maps gave me insight on how to smooth better and make better transitions.

After much much searching I was finally able to pickup a tactrix cable (1.3) When I bought the car it had been previously tuned (dynoflash maybe?) and I have been anxious to make sure there wasn't anything incredibly out of wack with the tune.
Here is what my viii has, anything look odd? I've read that running 7s in the 0-1000/0-30 will help fix some of the lumpy idle issues with cams?
Once I get my ix turbo/manifold/wideband on this week and I'll probably have mellon fix me up, just dont want to kill my engine when I start logging pulls.

lan_evo_mr9: If you don't mind asking, what wga are you using?? how are you controlling boost (mbc?)? how are you hitting 320 load with 26 psi, are you sure you don't have any leak??

Darwin- I am using a buschur MBC, "crushed" BOV, spring wastegate mod. I don't hit 320 every time- it's just the max that I've seen, so I rescaled my maps to compensate for such a load just in case. Definitely no boost leaks- I'm a VW master tech and have seen my fair share of boost leaks on various VW's. I have seen what a boost leak will do to fuel trims, how it sounds, feels, etc. I'm able to hold 23-24 up top with no issues with those boost mods. There is no way I could hit or maintain those levels without the stuff I've done to it. I want to convert to ECU direct boost control- but don't have the funds for the parts I need right now.
