Yeah I richen it about 20% got the AFR to reflect 15 on idle which is fine, i went as far as 14.4 but it made no difference it was still very lumpy...

On my current map, on normal driving at 0 boost its about 14.7/15 which is cool but when I floor it, pedal to floor my AFR is off the scale, so I only drive at about 50% throttle at the moment for safety sake. I do think I'm running little lean, but as I don't gun it I should be safe, till I get it tuned.

I can't believe the car was tuned like that, and how the hell he achieved that!

If you have a look at my staged fuel inkjector settings you will see it progressively get greater in %, from 0% to 80%, so 20% willonly help in the lower rev and load range.

My car idles at 13.5, anything leaner and it starts to get slightly lumpy but this is because my flywheel is so light.

I would take you fuel map and copy it into my map, then at least you have all the other things already sorted out.

Give me a call and Ill explain how to tune on the road, well the way I do anyway (which is the easiest I found), cant explain in typing.

Ok good.

When I had my car tuned it went from 150RwKw - 138RwKw and drank petrol. They said I had a fuel pump problem. No offence but I didnt like the way they tuned my car.

rough... my graph looks more something that you'll see on your hi-fi's equalizer, numbers aint impressive but that's not what I was aiming for... they claim only 134Kw/240nm torque but on the same dyno a car claiming 350kw/500nm only made 280kw :?

car is very much drivable got loads more powa... but my boost controller is a poprivit, so i'm taking that out immediately... they guy also ripped out my heat shielding, so I took it back, have him build me a decent thing from stainless steel... will have the car back today...

No matter where you get the car tuned it will always look rough. It is now up to you to do the fine tuning and get your graph smooth.

What AFR are you running and what what boost?? Also what timing are you running under boost??
