    2020 Mustang boost control

    I have searched but have not found anything that helps me. I have the 12psi turbo smart wastegate but boost is only reaching 20psi then dropping to 17-18 mid pass. I am trying to reach 25-26psi can anyone give me any pointers?

    The thing with tuning newer Ford stuff is that you're just trying to find what limiter you're hitting and manipulating torque request tables. You will get better advice on here from posting a log file and your current tune. I suggest making sure all the limit sources are logged as those are often forgotten about, and they will most times tell you where to look for the current limiter.

    Also keep in mind that the ECU doesn't particularly care about boost pressure, if it can reach target torque at a lower pressure, it will.

    Definitely need a log to see what's going on, my guess would be a load limit (LSPI, SD logic limit, or trans), or just simply not requesting enough torque from driver demand.

    e80rev 73 rev good tune uped timing 1 deg .40.80 load.hpt here's my 2.0 ecoboost tune "should be fairly similar" im getting max of 23-24 psi down to around 21 ish around 6000 rpm, you can try upping your tip pressure's to around 37 psi , also adjust your pedal map ratios under full throttle to the highest number on the scale. just look at my mine for a rough idea. posting a log with these parimiters will help everybody help you more e80 rev70.hpl also what fuel are you using? definitely want to keep an eye on knock retard.
