No datalogs to support this but after running at 95% for almost a week, my car actually feels a little slower.....is this possible? Guess the only alternative is to bump it back to 94%.

[jpsimon]

datalog and see...

Still amazes me people just arbitrarily just set their settings to 95% and go. Datalog and find out how much boost your generating. What octane fuel you running?

If your car feels slower the higher you go on User TQ, it is likely that your ECU is pulling back timing. Remember, any given engine torque output requires a minimum necessary octane. If you try to make too much torque with insufficient octane, your ECU will react and pull back timing.

is there anyway to see this on a datalog? I'm running 95% but i'm not seeing above 13psi. I know I've asked this before, but is it just the psi that needs to be watched or are there other channels in the datalog that we as the end user should be paying attention to?

I agree with everyone else, and get some data.
That's the only way to make sure that everything's fine.

Thanks.
I've always tried to keep an objective point of view around here.

I completely agree with that... I look forward to receiving warnings from you...

I just haven't had a chance to datalog recently. I didnt just start at 95% (nice assumption). I started at 90% and moved up from there, all along not realizing much in the way of extra TQ. I then posted something on here and was told that if I knew that 93% or 95% was ok, there was no point in moving up the scale in a gradual way.

I run shell 93.

Do you have a boost gauge at least?

[remydlc]

Shiv said, unless you are running race gas, dont jump the User T. Parameters higher than 94 on 93oct and 92 on 91oct at least YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

I think is better if you go down at least a percent, no much to gain by one percent but a LOT to LOOSE.

just my 2cents

The tutorial on engine load is a good read and makes me think I need to be looking at the engine load channels. The problem is (and I read the tutorial a couple of time) is that I can't figure out what numbers I should be looking for (or not looking for LOL)

[yahtzee]

bumped it back to 94% and noticed that my gas mileage increased by 2-3 mpg...would that be another indication that 95% may have been too much?

[jpsimon]

You would know if it was too much if you datalogged!

[cn555ic]

I don't understand why you just can't datalog your boost instead of finding help here...We need to see what numbers your producing so we can offer some advice...The Procede unit is a advanced tune and like Shiv stated you must datalog your car to see where you are at as far as peak boost..

[jpsimon]

yeah some people really boggle my mind.

[Pele96]

Dude just do some datalogging

[jpsimon]

my head hurts

[e.n335]

According to the information we have ( raising UT results in power loss ) 95% seems to be too much. When it will get warmer again we will have to do this UT settings thing again thus I expect boost will raise with the ambient temperatures.

I try to keep the settings at 90% which is safe IMO under all gas / weather / seasonal conditions and gain some more power using hardware mod's. Next will be the intercooler waiting for installation since quite some time. Makes not much sense to me to install the FMIC in winter ...

It doesn't hurt enough to keep posting idiotic posts on here now does it. It isn't super convenient for me to go find a place to run datalogs. I will try to do it tomorrow but if you aren't going to contribute to this forum why add your worthless chatter?
