Now that I have my TBE installed, went with Stage 2.

I haven't felt any noticable performance gains sinec going to Stage 2. Maybe a little more backfire is all I've noticed.

First night at the drag strip will be the deciding factor.


My question is, I'm using the Tari data logger and I was wondering what parameters I should be logging that will help me set a baseline for changes that are made after installing my CAI?

So you finally got some EM eh?
To be honest, I couldn't tell any difference when I went stage 2, my butt dyno may be broken. :huh:
Tari data logger, explain...

I just put on the accessport yesterday. I couldn't notice a difference at first either. What I noticed was that it was a little smoother, and my friend who likes cars said that to me also. I noticed that it seems quicker on the top end than before. Especially when I redline 2nd or 3rd gear on the freeway. I dont want to exaggerate and say its a night and day difference but I am glad I got the accessport and I managed to scare the crap out of my friend while he was on the phone and I redlined 2nd gear. He was talking, then looks at me and says "are you trying to kill me?"

The ECU has to learn, which is a gradual process. If you leave the AP plugged in to monitor real time boost right after the install, you will see peak boost gradually raise itself over the course of maybe 100-200 miles. Put on 500 then flash back the stock map. You'll notice a difference! ;)

Tari Racing free data logger... It's a sticky in the Engine Management Forum.
Now that I have the ODBII cable from the Accessport, I can use my laptop to log all the parameters my engine can give.

It's really nice to use... I've already noticed my AFR is at 14.7 for most of the time.
It doesn't have any graphing solutions (which would be REALLY NICE) but I suppose I could make one in Excel.

I couldn't tell any difference either other than added noise. I think is hard to tell a difference on our cars because of the big peak of torque when the turbo spools that drops quickly towards redline. The big peak of torque is what the butt-dyno feels.
