buttoned up the foci tonight with HRK. played with my basemap a bit, and took it for a short drive. holy shit was i impressed. SOOOOOO much different than last years setup. on 1/3 throttle and shifting at 4k rpms, i was making the full 10psi of boost with ease. spool up starts right off the clutch and is very noticeable by 2k rpms. i cant stress how amazing it finally feels to have this damn thing working right. BIG FUCKING :tup: to hrk for the fab work and riding shotty with the datalogger. we got the a/f right around 10% each way of the target 13:1 ---

^^^hell yea, that was sweet … staying rock steady at 60\* anytime we were parked or just rolling down the street out of boost … wouldnt flinch to 59.9 or 60.1 EVER … then we hit boost and i watch it drop down to like 57.3 ---

13.1 is for my closed loop. 12:1 is for open loop, and i cant really do open loop until i calibrate by wideband for my datalogger and get on a dyno. if i cant afford to get on the dyno ill have to have a try at street tunning it. ---

if your hinting at a race, you will own the crap out of me, plus im keeping it in closed loop until i get the wideband calibrated fully and get some dyno/street tunning time ---

open loop is not dictated by boost, rather throttle position. and i think 3/4 throttle is open loop [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/focus-is-done-and-holy-fast/11093.md?page=2)
