Guys was wondering if you can help with some EBC questions. I have read kanes how to tune your ebc and it was a great help in understanding what is actually happening as well as what functions do. Ill give you my situation and see if you can help with any pointers.

My target is 9 psi so i change my set boost setting to 8.0 approximately 1 psi short of my target. I take my initial reading with the recording feature on by boosting at WOT? And should i be doing this in any specific gear as well as is this a progressive WOT it seems the more throttle i give it the larger the psi will climb as i believe it should so how do you know where to stop? Now once i see the initial curve i begin to go up in increments of 5 with my set feature which please help me understand increases or decreases spool time as well as targets the PSI I would like (at WOT?). Once i have the set feature dialed to approximately 9psi at WOT I begin to use Gain which should allow me to hold the 9psi to redline. Now also assuming i have the same setups as some GT3071r your settings should put me close to doing what is intended correct with only slight variations pending everything is installed correctly?

What EBC do you have?

Your start boost might be a little high. You don't want to overshoot your target.

Kane et. al., Appreciate the knowledge & dedication to the forum. Definitely value in viewing dynos, but these only tell half the story. For those of us looking for trq/ power AND reliability ... would be of value to see a "Longest Running FI Set-up" thread which speaks volumes to the overall quality of the kit, install, & tune. What do yas think?

A lot of variables in that one... but it should be a fun argument to read.

Yup ...kinda the point in it. In addition to trq / hp curves... top contenders in "Miles on Set-up"...given the kit, install, tune, & driving style, e.g. daily driven, tracked or what not; could be another *factor* to *assist* in determining truly quality set-ups.

The way I read it, if you read FI for dummys then and do a build thread you qualify......But he's in Never Never land presently.....
