    Well first off a grammatically correct paragraph with full sentences so we can understand the question.
    And then when follow up questions are asked, don't reply back with attitude, as it wont get you very far in here.

    the steps you need to take is:
    1. google how to tune a gen 3, so you have an idea of what needs to be done
    2. datalog your engine when it is running
    3. post your tune and datalogs after you have followed the google information
    4. read the advise given and then do with it as you please
