Is the ECU aftermarket?

Is it set up for a twin scroll?

This overboost issue is very annoying.. im almost giving up
You will need a remap. It's an important part of the engine system, altering the parameters and will effect the running.

sorry what means a "minter" ?

The abs was disabled by me, i don“t like.. checkengine light on redline is between shifting, is the apexi fc ecu feature of knocking advice, which is normal , when you switch the gears. the red line is on 7200rpm im shifting betwen 6800/7000rpm

regards

Is the mapper reputable? Power does seem low. Where did you source the turbo?

Not sure the knock activity is acceptable. What is the power FC saying the peak knock is? Might be worth pulling a couple of degrees of timing and trying it, if the knock quietens down I'd be getting the map tweaked.

Wouldn't be driving it like that either with the whole external wastegate swap and boost problems.

Hello!!

Yes ir a good mapper, but when he made the tune the car, isn“t runing good, a lot“s of boost creep , etc. He only set it up to run with the big injectors and try“d to put it in a save condition.

I forgot to say that after that Dyno , i did a remap and the car changed a lot, with very impressive acceleration, the clutch finally starts to spliping.
Now im making 1.6bar, the boost is controled with the help of the ewg offcourse, and also the new map improved all the power band. The cel light as i say“d before is do to knocking level limit, wich was dataloged and analysed 1000 times , and is due to high engine sounds, and it appends in gear changes.

This video is how the car is runing now, i have to change is clutch and im still runing the 5peed gearbox. Have to make another dyno and post here, we realized that the camber of one of the whells was different from the others, that change the numbers on the dyno.
