EBP reading like 100 at idle or so. Is that normal

Pretty sure ebp has a diffent form of measurement on the lw ,so it's totally different numbers. I wanna say it's kga or somehhinh weird like that , that needs a conversion table.

I cant read it very well.
Lower left if MAP - 28 PSI Take 14-15 off and you should be in the 13 range for boost.
EBP - 40 PSI Seems normal. 12 higher than MAP.
What is the EBP reading with the truck idling? Should be in the 120 range on the Livewire

Perhaps all I need is a new custom tune since I have upgraded to the 59 HP and 76 Atmo

Can anyone confirm or deny this please

if you upsized the vgt, you have to run a custom tune. probably your cause of no throttle response. all the U codes are just communication faults from either a tune download interruption or having the plugs undone to lift the cab.

if the one you have is for stock turbos, yes. you require a tune tweak to accommodate a larger vgt

That's what I thought. I was going to do that and then was told I didn't need to. That's why this MFR is so laggy. I finally got all of my codes away. But sooooooooo slow and laggy. I hate it. Is there anyone open on a Saturday that can write me a tune

email your engine tune to [email protected] even if he doesnt do it today, you still need it LOL


now, when you say it is slow, is that off the line? like once the turbos are lit does it move out?

did you check for boost leaks etc?

I currently have all 4 of his tunes for stock turbos. I'm going to get my new ones from him too. Seems no boost leaks. Lpfp finally draining too. She shifts hard as phuk right now. Trans relearn I assume. I miss my old truck at the current moment. Lol.

No traction bars yet. From what I understand. I'll be needing them along with a trans pretty soon the way these turbos are suppose to run.

umm yes. the truck will shift like glass once you get traction bars on it. the difference is night and day.

Really. I figured they would help with heavy applications of the gogo pedal. But I didn't realize they help in daily driving
