yea the settings are exactly the same. i tried -50 and it cleared up alot but its still way too rich it bogs when i first go WOT. im also now getting a map sensor code and an 02 sensor code. maybe it has something to do with the setings??

yea, and as usual im a dumbass. i didnt have the settings right at all forgot about adjusting it for different rpms so i only had it adjusted for like 1000 rpm, so when it went over that it ran like ****.

fixed it now its set to -35 all the way acrossed pulls like a **** and dont lean out at about 8psi. i'll turn up the boost later.

thanks for the help anyways.
