Low boost High ignition
My boost autotuned from from 15 to 11 psi and my ignition went up on a 340F oil gauge to 330, then it was misfiring has anyone experienced it with their cars ? I got BP gas could it be the gas ? or something else please chime in

Maybe a boost leak? Or a fuel issue?

I noticed the same thing on my car today, I went from 15 to 13. I don't know what my ignition is though. I put a full tank of completely ethanol free gas in my tank, maybe that had something to do with it?

If it were a boost leak then the instant boost pressure won't reach the autotune pressure.

you can check through gauges by double clicking on hazard it's going to show what it's autotuning to on boost gauge and ignition on oil

Yeah I knew you could wasn't sure which mode it was that showed it. It is showing ignition correction with each mark representing one degree of correction?

I'm not sure but I called shiv and he told me it's too high, I reset the autotuning but it was going up and boost was going down

How do you reset it without it hooked up to a computer? I still don't have the damn cable.

BTW spoke to my father he used to have gasoline delivery business and he said that on weekends they mix with regular like crazy because on friday after 3 pm the inspection doesn't work while on the weekday they can come anytime and check the gas, I told him the problem I was having with my car and he as a mechanic also said for sure it was a bad gas and he told me to get only gas during the week day time |

no you do it inside the gauge, fuck I wish I could find the video to show you more it's very easy you have to pull Cruise control hold it until it hits 1k rpm then you pul it quickly 3 more times it goes to 4 and then you tap it up and you look at speedometer and you tap it up to 60 km/h and then you click the botton thats on the CC and then you tap it down and click 50 kmh

that has nothing to do with his issue which is probably octane related....

It's IAT and octane related IMO. The Procede reduces boost in extremely cold IAT conditions. I ran into the same issue testing something for Shiv tonight. You guys will like what's coming this week!

You're a bit bipolar, aren't you? In the other thread you wrote it off saying 3 degrees = 5-8whp. How little you know
