Right now I am tuning my 500whp/500ft-lb GTX30 built motor GTI with DP meth, APR injectors, walbro 450, stock HPFP. Just wanted to say hi to everyone, as I will probably have a lot of questions in the weeks to come. I am an amateur tuner; I have tuned my car as well as several others' cars on Eurodyne and would consider myself pretty savvy with Maestro. That all being said, Maestro is very limited as far as the available maps and tables go. And even with the limited access to the ecu, several of the tables don't have an effect on anything. So here I am.. HP tuners MPVI in hand and ready to jump in. I have noticed right off the bat that the logging software is eons better than Eurodyne and at first glance, it seems like it gives way more access to the ECU. I am trying to spend a little time learning the software in and out before I start writing files to the ECU as a lot of the stuff looks foreign to me. It runs good WOT on eurodyne, but the driveability has some points of concern. When the meth comes in (14psi) if I am at transient throttle it will bog because of the blow-out/richness until the ECU gathers its thoughts and then it goes away. If i am wot, it will power right through it. So one of my goals in using HP tuners is to try and combat that. I have tried adjusting the MAF curve, but it happens at different loads and different RPMs, so hopefully I can pull like 10-20% of fuel out at the point when this is happening. Also looking forward to learning how to tune my IE intake manifold. Eurodyne didn't have the available maps to really do anything with it, so my cold starts are fun . Anyways, just wanted to start a thread I can ask questions on. Look forward to getting to know some of you gurus out there!
