Your VAFC Hack experiences..........
wastegate is set at 8.5psi. I haven't checked the plugs yet but my stock ECU is reading very very rich off it's O2 sensor. also my EGT's are dropping about 15-20degrees at WOT as I roll into boost from a highway roll...... I don't hear the ping though. the exhaust just seems to crackel like almost a early rev limiter, but the RPM's climb very very slowly after about 7k....I am staying out of the throttle till I can get to a dyno or someone can give me an idea to make it run a bit better.
at idle my fuel presure is up about 10psi from stock

And if your idle-4k is affected too greatly I would suggest an MSD BTM ignition w/boost retard(not sure if its included) so you can get the best of both worlds.
yeah, no disrespect, but i know how to read the code, it gives Long, short, short, short. the first time it happened i was worried so i checked it for 2 minutes straight, it's 13.
I'm getting the feeling you are running an OBD2 ECU? I know jack **** about OBD2 and should stfu pls kthx. As long as you aren't getting the code 3 you aren't over boosting for your injector size.
i think it'd OBD2, because my car is fairly new (2000 ex). i got the max-rev kit, and the TiAL wastegate is set at .45 bar (6.5psi) so it's pretty conservative when it comes to boosting, i don't plan on upping it either.
i'm happy the way my car runs, and hopfully it'll last a long time... oh yeah, i should reset my ECU sometime, stupid *** code 13 came on again hehehehe. good luck to all the v-afc users out there!

So if you want try setting both maps for hi and lo throttle to the same settings.
well i set my lo and hi differently. works fine for me...and i set the Xover to hi throttle to 20% that usually when boost occured in my civic so for my hi setting it was +1 from 1k to 4 k and +2 after that you guys should try it helped mine a bit more see my post on page one i think i got it all down on there oh and plus i was actually boosting over 11 sometimes the most ive seen was 14 never threw a code at all
