    2016 F150 3.5 ecoboost powermax turbo Need help

    been sucking at tuning this truck. coming from tuning hondas prior im having trouble with this truck
    mods
    powermax turbos with high flow adaptors
    full race manifolds
    stainless works catted y pipe
    full exhaust
    turbosmart BOV

    i can get it to have lots of power on the hit but boost falls off and flattens out.

    Need a log. I suspect you need to increase your LSPI hi. Pretty rich too at .75 lambda

    Increase LSPI HI only. Leave LSPI nominal and low stock. Only add in the 100 and 120 rows 2500 rpm up. Add .1 or .15 at a time until desired boost is reached. You are commanding stock boost levels. Adding to nominal and low will increase boost when lower octane fuels are used. Don't do that. As long as your OAR is -1 boost will remain the same could also be +1 depending on year. If when knock occurs OAR is reduced as well as reducing max boost levels. Also add more to your channels such as all the sources, (fuel, spark, torque, torque max). This is how you figure out what limiter needs to be changed when you hit one. add OAR too.
