    20 3.0 ecoboost tune review?

    Can the community help with looking into this tune? Its been great but theres one issue. While gently accelerating normally, once it gets to 5th gear and around 60-65mph, if you keep gently pushing on the pedal to keep accelerating, the vehicle snaps your head back and takes off like a rocket. The best comparison is like a power band on a 250 2 stroke dirtbike. it goes from about 80% throttle right to 96% and what i assume is max boost, about 36psi according to vcm scanner. If ya dont let off the pedal it throws a p0068 code and goes into limp mode. It takes about 2-3 seconds in real time to trip the wrench light. Its completely fine if your driving wtfo. Its the casual DD that its an issue. And forget about towing a 3k lb trailer......jesus

    I'll try to get a look at it when I get a minute, been busy with some E30 tuning, but should be able to look at what you got this weekend.

    I can't check it out since I don't have the definition file, but it sounds like an over boost issue. Check that section and see.

    Next time I'm around an MPV I'll download it. A log would be nice as well.

    Make sure your OP thresholds aren't too low, same with the hysteresis. Only other thing I can think of is a very aggressive tip-in boost strategy. Driver demand/torque tables can throw things off like that as well.
