what is it doing?

It just doesn't seem to give full boost reliably. I would expect it to hit 12psi whenever I want it, but maybe that's just not how it works. Sometimes I'll just be driving along in 3rd at about 35mph or so, and nail it, but the turbos seem slow to respond and don't build full boost until I shift. I dunno, it might be normal...

On another note, I think my air temp sensor is going bad. I've been trying to monitor it as much as possible, and sometimes it will just drop to like -35C for like 10 seconds, and then back up to normal. That one is located under the UIM right? I think I'll swap it out with my other one...

It is also running very rich in boost. We never tuned those cells. I can pretty much watch the gas gauge go down when I've got my foot down. I estimate I'm getting about 10mpg right now, hahaha!

I'm not going to make the cruise this weekend. Some crap popped up and I have to be around here... Sucks, but maybe it is for the best since the car needs another tuning session.

We can tune the car. tuning the car will also effect the spool. you also need to get the sensor working properly, a lot of the adjustments that the computer makes runs off that sensor. I would make 100% sure it is reading right and is stable.

We can tune the car again, no worries. we can get it dialed in right.

Sounds good.

Just to confirm, that air temp sensor is on the underside of the UIM right?

Yes, it is right on the bottom of the UIM.
