Thumbs up

Agree with Mark, the correct set up varies from car to car although the suggested settings shouldn't cause a problem. I'm wary of giving out a 'what worked for me' setting as it could cause severe overboost

I donīt think these settings will give too much overboost assuming the wastegate dutycycles are O.K.

ALWAYS START WITH LOW WASTEGATE DUTYCYCLES AND INCREASE ONLY IN SMALL STEPS WHEN BOOST TARGET ISN`T REACHED!!! (try this in 4th gear, in which you have self learning enabled)

Mark.

I don't think the settings Mark posted will cause any problems (as I said in previous post) however they will not be the optimum settings for 5 different cars !!
I am sure Mark also tunes cars individually, the settings he posted are meant as a safe starting point.

Andy, Mark, no problem... thanks for your input
Just waned to see what setting you used vs. my setting
as the temp's are creping bellow -20deg C now,overboost is quit common right now ..

But I never manage to get 1.8Bar in first gear
My target is 1.5-1.6Bar peak, ~1.4Bar up >6000rpm dropping it to 1.3Bar up to 7000rpm...should be ok for the 20G I think

Talking

Remember Jan, your warranty is void if you run over 3.5 bar of boost
