    Re: Rich idle.

    Win10 required some different drivers. Have you tried the latest drivers listed onthe FTDI website?
    And btw, Miles is just about completed and ready to ship the mpscilink devices back to me.

    Re: Rich idle.

    Alright gents. Got the new cable with built in ftdi chip (this one in case anyone wants one https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...R7DtM6b7hTwLVv) and it works swimmingly with windows 10. As a baseline and for diagnosing purposes, I'm thinking of just using a stock turbonator cal scaled for 3 bar and +40's. Sound like the way to go?

    I know you have the header, but not sure of the head mods or what else.
    You coud start with the stock cal, scaled for your map and injectors, and see how it is.
    Nothing wrong with that plan IMO.

    You'll still have to adjust the fuel tables.

    Partthrottle will be too rich, WOT will be too lean, if I remember correctly.

    DING DING DING. Let's just say, I'm a moron. When I redid the vac lines I had evap hooked up. For some reason, I unhooked the one vac line from the evap solenoid but left the one going to the intake. This was messing with the map sensor and causing it to run rich. I redid the vac lines, burned a BB s3 cal scaled for 55lb injectors and it runs 1000x better. Even WOT with the 50 trim at 10psi it's not too far off. About 11-11.3. Now I can finally start trying to make some power. See how far I can push a t1 bottom end.

    Re: Rich idle.

    Glad to hear Alex!
    Now you can just fine tune, or wait and see if it leans out with more boost, or goes richer.

    Re: Rich idle.

    I'll put it up to 15psi and see how it is. Probably keep it around there for now. I want to install my mandrel 3" swing valve and see if it makes a seat of the pants difference compared to my tu 3"sv. Hopefully asa decides to build more BMF intakes. If not, I'll have to see if someone will sell one or see if I can get my hands on a lengel.

    Jason Silva is selling his BMF since he's going 2.4 (jayspartanburg on here, but he's in our NC/SC facebook group too).
