The "untuned" log was just my quick-n-dirty tune. It had a bit of knock, so it may have been too aggressive in certain areas. I had Scot Gray do the fine tuning last night (which resulted in the "after" log). He was also the fine-tuner of the IX "before" log. It feels stronger after last night's tuning session, and I feel safer knowing the knock sums are lower (almost none).

Yes, I do have a wideband that I'm logging via ECU+. I can see the data on the graphs, but haven't yet figured out how to export the data to a spreadsheet. The "export" feature in this old version of ECU+ doesn't seem to work. However, the tune I'm running now has low 11's all the way through on AFR.

I put up the FPGreen turbo against my stock turbo car. My car only has a TBE and a tune. That is it. I used the same temps, humidity, pressure, and weight in both runs. My car makes a bit more torque and the same hp down low, but loses power and torque up top.

IMO, I think this car should make more power given the mods that it has.

Yes it is. The car's only power mechnical mod is the TBE. I have a JDM DV aside from that. I am a big fan of the stock turbo. The only turbo I might swap to is the Evo IX turbo.

I noticed that too. My TBE car loads up to 245-250 @ peak boost torque. Maybe that is what is keeping the car from achieving its power potential.

that's what i was thinking. a stock IX turbo brand new is less than half the cost of the evogreen, even a 20g-9 is half the price. i'd like to see a comparison between the evogreen and stock IX turbo on a car with just minor stuff like exhaust or an air filter on pump.

You mean $1970 for a bolt on turbo??? You might as well put $1000.00 on that and get a full blown turbo kit.

Thanks...Here's my best one. Peak is lower, but the overall curve is better. Notice how the car holds hp up top. I love the stock turbo I am tempted to get 272 cams and tune the car to see what I can get.

He probably has larger injectors, which is why his calc load is low. My car logs about 220 or so but I hit over 260 load column. I've been too lazy to change the XML.

Yes, I do have Denso 660cc injectors.

After some additional tweaks on the tune, I'll post up another pull for analysis.
