Alright sounds good. The roads are still absolutely covered in snow and ice so I wont be able to data log anything for a few days. Ill get on it as soon as I can though.
Is there any specific type of pull I should do for it? Or just a third gear pull like I did is good enough?

Start your wot pull just above 2,000 rpm and hold it to just below redline. In the meantime if you can't get a wot pull in safely you can do a cruise log. Add AF Learning A,B,C,D ranges to your logging parameters and just do some normal driving.

Hey guys, so it hasn't stopped snowing here since over the weekend and it's apparently spring? I can't wait to move next month, haha.

I was reading up on other people's post today an the search wouldn't work for me for some reason, but their article was saying you had to do other things other than just plugging the Tactrix cable into the OBD2 and the laptop? It was showing green plugs and black plugs?
Also, I followed romraider's post on how to instal everything properly, and my RomRaider software works obviously to datalog, but my ecu flash won't work? Or atleast I don't know how to work it maybe? I've tried to find solutions but again the search wouldn't work.
Any suggestions are great!

You don't need to worry about the other connectors on the later model cars. With your tactrix cable plugged into the OBDII port and the ignition off can you launch the ecuflash on your laptop? What message is it giving you? If it opens up OK then scroll over the tab on the top left with the arrow coming out of it. It should say Read from ECU. Click on it. It should prompt you to turn on the ignition and to leave it on until completed (don't engage starter though). It should READ the rom on your car. It will prompt you to turn off the ignition when you are done. It may ask you if you want to save it after you turn ignition back off. As long as you followed instructions on romraider on how to install current definitions then it should recognize the ECU CAL ID and Rom (.hex) file. If so you can save a copy of the stock rom on your laptop.

Dude, Since you are using romraider , have you used the application Learning View yet. It's a handy program. It will give you your LTFT's and any FLKC currently stored. It will also allow you to save a screenshot and post it up as a .jpg

Linked here zip file at bottom of the first post:

Hey all.. Ive been away for a while but I am back!

I have been reading alot but could use some help. I hear a loud squeal when I'm under boost. I thought it was coming from my BPV so I replaced the gasket, it worked! For about a week...

I went out and did a WOT pull and datalogged it, also just a drive around datalog. I was wondering if theres anyone out there that can check it out and let me know if they see anything alarming? Im looking over it now and dont see anything.
The other thing is it feels like I am getting a slight surge or something higher 3k RPM.

Thanks in advance all!

Check your hoses: turbo to intercooler and intercooler to throttle body. Ditch the rubber inserts on the ends of the intercooler to TB hose and reinstall.

I checked what I could. Ive been told that there shouldnt be an issue with them since the car is still stock and I havent messed with the TMIC.

No there shouldn't be but boost leaks can show up on brand new cars. A squealing sound under boost is pretty indicative of a loose hose/ hose clamp.
