That log shows no overboosting and no boost creep. .5PSI over target is well within acceptable parameters- especially if it's that incredibly brief.

In the future you don't need to wind it out to 6700- the car is dead on power about 700rpm before that.

No need to go past 6k? Is that for this particular tune or FA20s in general?

If your car is dead on power at 6000 you need a new tuner

Just in general on FAs running pump gas. With ethanol/WM/Race Gas you can hold power to 6500-7000 much easier, but 91/93 the car just doesn't sustain top end power on the stock turbo.

-2017 WRX USDm
- Stock with Stage 1 93 OTS
- 6MT
- 93
- Stage 1 Cobb OTS
- Mostly 3rd one of them was 4th

Let me know if you see anything out of ordinary. Sometimes I get what feels like timing being pulled but I don't think it occurred on any of these logs. I'm use to tuning ls cars with hp tuners but am new to the AP and wrx tuning.
I just received TGV deletes but haven't installed yet. Are there nay OTS maps for the delete or only custom tuning. Thanks!

Looks pretty standard for OTS, no knock in the WOT areas just some small FKL during cruise in one of the logs (unavoidable on OTS, normal).

We need need AFR logged as well as commanded to get a better picture but I have a feeling its probably swinging richer than commanded.

If you want to run the TGV deletes get the EGR delete kit and do both at the same time. You will need a custom map to run TGV deletes, also a 3 port boost control solenoid (Grimmspeed) is recommended by most tuners.

Thanks!Yes I ordered the whole kit TGV/EGR and also ordered the delicious flex fuel kit with a tune. I'm just going to install it all at once. I'll look at the 3 port also.

Are you saying AFR on wideband? Or another AFR setting? I logged commanded fuel map and final, is there something else?

Thanks guys!

There's no AFR in your logs. Reset settings to Cobb default and add Command fueling. 3rd gear pulls are preferred. 3-6500.

Skip Delicious Tuning and go with COBB flex fuel support, unless something has changed Delicious has no AP integration.

I think it has AP integration, but only a few select "approved" tuners have access as well as e-tune option from Delicious.

But agreed, skip delicious and get the Cobb setup. Way better.

I just recall them not tuning very well on flex and I also recall a MAF cable on an older unit that caused issues.

Delicious Tuning's MK2 can be used with Cobbs AP that any ProTuners can tune. Says that in the first sentence. DT's FF kit also has more features and BT integration for your phone. DT are also highly reputable tuners throughout the industry.

Yeah I didn't see any drawbacks to this kit over the cobb. Also has fuel pressure protection in the evetn pump has a hiccup like they have known to do on come e85 setups. I don't plan to ever go full 85, probably 50-60 at the most ethanol content

Oo I like the Bluetooth E content feature. I don’t run with my AP hooked up and that would be nice to do a spot check before refueling with an E blend. Would most flex Fuel tuners be able to use the DT kit if they can use the Cobb?

I don’t think I’m switching FF kits but I’d like to know the options

It's just a sensor to monitor E content. Provided it works, it should be no different than Cobb's sensor, just with more options for monitoring.

Here's mine my final tune. Tuned by Ron at PhatBotti.

https://datazap.me/u/ayau/log-151927...og=0&data=9-24

2015 WRX
EGR, TGV, GS EBCS
6MT
93
Custom e-tune
3rd gear

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the tune. Power delivery is way more linear compared to stock tune. Can definitely feel the extra power.

I wish my boost control looked like that.

For someone that isn't experienced in looking at logs, what are some key things to look for when reading a log? What makes a good or bad log?

would love to see a COBB vs MAP tune comparison as well. I have a 2018 that I want to stage 1 but unsure of the reliability of the more "aggressive" MAP tune.

There's dozens of Map logs and dozens of Cobb logs. Just look through the 71 pages.

Both maps 93 octane, stock car.

MAP 91 STG1: https://datazap.me/u/gn4rwhals/maper...12-13-15-21-24

COBB 93 STG1 HWG: https://datazap.me/u/gn4rwhals/cobb-...24&zoom=89-525

Between these 2 the COBB 93 HWG tune is more aggressive but runs pig rich.

There are many logs here and I have done plenty myself. I prefer the MAP tune but the HWG COBB v300 maps are just as strong. MAP is smoother for sure but I was getting too much cruise knock driving around with both. E tune eliminated that issue and it picked up a lot more power in the midrange. I would honestly be very happy with the MAP tune power wise if it wasn't for the random knock issues. I like this tune a lot.

i was constantly getting knock with the MAP stage 2 tune and DAM would drop as low as 0.75. couldn't go on the highway for longer than an hour without DAM dropping. good power though. would only use their tune as temporary solution honestly.
