Holy cow!!! at those settings!! How the heck did it get like that??
No idea. Started going a bit screwy after firmware 8.5.1 was installed. Along with the random lumpy idle. Checked all the connectors all and all are plugged in correctly. I've been scouring through the forum threads to make sense of it.Holy cow!!! at those settings!! How the heck did it get like that??
Someone will probably correct me but I believe it only works in map 6. I used that setting for a while, basically boost by gear. I'd thought I'd have trouble with traction in first and second so I set it incrementally in first and second gear so you dont wheelspin as much when boost kicks in. Dont really need it in 3rdcan someone help me understand the "max boost 1st, 2nd, 3rd" settings?
Example: Suppose I have a relative map 6 with 4 psi across the rpm range. I want 1st and 2nd gears to run at 4psi across the rpm range, I want 3rd gear to run 3 psi across the range.
What should I enter as values for "max boost 1st", "max boost 2nd", max boost 3rd?
Does max boost 3rd have any effect on 4th, 5th and 6th, or does the range go back to 4 psi for 4th 5th and 6th?
Do the max boost values have any effect on other maps such as maps 1 through 4?
thank you
I'd make sure I had the right FW and reinstall it. Those #s are scary. I find 8.6 solid and smooth on my stock 1.8 so no idea why you're getting that. Maybe try using a laptop to re-install and load values. None of the connections should cause that. I'd be happy I had that extra fuel to go along with that extra boost to protect the motor but ya, both need a fix.No idea. Started going a bit screwy after firmware 8.5.1 was installed.

In fact I vividly remember it doing it after I turned the 6 cylinder settings to 1. Tmap set itself automatically to 1 too.
I have VCDS, didn't realize I could tweak the traction control. Learn something new every day. I appreciate everyone's help and have obviously been reading most of your postsBoost by gear should also help with the intrusive traction control, because it'll have less reason to want to engage when you have less power down there. Also, there are VCDS tweaks to all but eliminate those traction control problems, extremely highly recomended.
