    There's a few how-to's on this. Basically using the histogram in the scanner for KR, you can copy paste the amounts of KR (by subtracting) from your timing. This is how most ppl start.

    Since you are boosted, you need to adjust your timing table (High Octane) for both open and closed loop (richer). The stock timing, for your application, will send KR all over the place.

    I noticed the only timing modifications done to your file is in the low octane table. You probably didn't notice much of a difference unless you are running bad gas.

    I thaught sense I dont have a maf it will always run in low octane mode. So I copied and pasted my high octane table. While changing the numbers in the octane table, is higher leaner like other thing.

    Higher, is more timing.... usually boosted applications are running lower timing than NA.
